“LGBTQ+ Diversity and Inclusion is important to me because people are at their best, their happiest and most productive when they can bring their whole selves to work. I am very thankful for the positive environment that Citi promotes globally where Diversity is encouraged at all levels and employees feel included and respected no matter what their background. I think there is an emphasis and onus on all of us to create the type of environment where we celebrate our collective diversity & ensure it is included and represented.”
