As General Counsel of JPMorgan Chase, and founding member of their LGBT+ Executive Council, Stacey is committed to serving as a role model and advocate for LGBT+ people. Currently the only openly gay General Counsel of a large financial institution, this high level of visibility affords her the chance to speak to, write about and mentor those internal and external to the firm. She regularly supports a wide range of programs designed to address the challenges and successes of LGBT+ professionals, sharing her experiences as an out woman in mentoring circles, on panels and other industry gatherings. Her support of the Legal Diversity Committee allows it to dedicate the time and resources necessary to educate and empower legal colleagues to “bring their whole selves to work” through round table discussions, best practices and the development of diverse talent pipelines. Outside of work, Stacey is involved with Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders (SAGE), the country’s largest organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBT older adults. Since 2011, Stacey has been on the Board Directors for the National Center for Law and Economic Justice, an organization striving to ensure no one lives in poverty or is denied basic human rights.
