About

Bio: Jacqui Gavin, awarded the British Empire Medal for services in Transgender Equality, is an acclaimed global leader in Diversity & Inclusion (D&I). With a rich tapestry of achievements and a sterling career, Jacqui has set a benchmark in transforming organisational cultures and fostering inclusive environments. Her professional journey, highlighted by leading roles in prestigious organisations such as Britvic plc, Britishvolt, and the Cabinet Office, epitomises her unwavering commitment to equality, diversity, and wellbeing.
Being recognised in the Top 10 Trans & Non-Binary Role Model 2024 list is both an honour and a testament to the impact of inclusive leadership on creating lasting cultural change. This recognition signifies the power of authenticity in fostering an environment where all individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered to contribute fully.
I am grateful for the opportunity to highlight the essential role diversity and inclusion play in uniting people across industries, and I am inspired to continue advocating for meaningful progress within this community and beyond.
Being featured as a role model on the LGBT Great website allows me to amplify messages of empathy, diplomacy, and inclusivity, aligning with my commitment to help bridge societal divides. This visibility is essential in fostering deeper understanding and acceptance, particularly for individuals who may feel marginalised or are seeking support in their journeys. I hope to use this platform to champion spaces where everyone, irrespective of their background or identity, can thrive authentically.
The social media campaign launching during Transgender Awareness Week is an invaluable opportunity to celebrate resilience, diversity, and unity. This campaign underscores the importance of visibility, not only as a symbol of acceptance but as a call to action for allies and leaders alike to engage more deeply with equity, diversity, and inclusion. I look forward to participating in this initiative and hope it inspires continued dialogue and dedication to building a more inclusive world.
