About
Bio: Michelle was appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) in July 2019.

Michelle says "Diversity is firmly on the agenda. In its broadest sense, this is the right thing to do for our clients, employees, investors and society. At LGIM, we take our role as a role models very seriously, that means individually and collectively leading by example through our own behaviours to build on our inclusive culture, having a respectful environment where people can be themselves and their differences are our strength.
I am proud of our partnership with LGBT Great and delighted to see the investment and savings industry working together, from asset managers, asset owners, pension schemes, investment consultants and trade bodies. There's strength in numbers and we can drive positive change across the industry that will enable our people to achieve their full potential, attract talent from any background, deliver better outcomes for our customers and achieve equality for everyone."
