About
Bio: .
As a gay man, Oded was instinctively involved in supporting LGBT+ equality and inclusion. His role in the bike club made him realize that voluntary efforts from people within and outside the community are a driving force for inclusion, and hence he joined PRISM, BNY Mellon’s network for LGBT+ inclusion and equality.
Oded comments:
“The Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated (again) that caring for our people is not just a mantra at BNY Mellon it was the culture from the top. And on the LGBT front I was proud to see BNY Mellon as an organisation come out for LGBT+ rights by supporting gay marriages in New York State, lighting its prominent downtown Pittsburgh HQ in rainbow colours during Pride, and bringing a ground breaking case which led to recognition of same sex partners for Visa purposes in Hong Kong, as well as supporting our colleagues and people in Poland.”
“I am proud to be a Project 1000 Role Model because it allows me to make equality and inclusion part of the norm, recognise the support I received from colleagues and be a role model for LGBTQ+ people who may be uncertain whether a career in Financial Services is compatible with their LGBTQ+ identity”
