Tim is global executive co-sponsor for the PRIDE network, which is active in several countries around the world (and growing, with his proactive support). He offers suggestions on how to advance their agendas, advocate for policy changes and sponsorships at enterprise-wide or local level, and increase their connections with external organizations and networks. Tim’s international role has enabled him to give special attention and a voice to PRIDE chapters outside the US and the UK. In India, for example, he played a critical role in the establishment of a PRIDE chapter by securing support from the most senior leaders there and linking up internal stakeholders and external contacts, and he has placed LGBT inclusion on the agendas of local leaders in other countries in Asia. Outside PRIDE, he has supported D&I initiatives both in and outside the global legal department, by sponsoring employee-led initiatives and speaking openly about his personal story and values in internal media and events. Externally, Tim has actively participated in Out Leadership and OUTstanding events and is a contributor to Open for Business. He is also a regular participant in events held by other organizations, particularly those who focus on inclusion and authenticity in the workplace.
