Leaders Prove the
Power of Authenticity
Suki Sandhu, the Founder of OUTstanding, talks to Fyne
about their recently released Top 100 LGBT business
leaders list.
“Following the phenomenal response to our inaugural
‘Top 50’ list of inspirational LGBT executives in 2013, the
OUTstanding team were ecstatic to recognise the Top 100
LGBT business leaders and, for the first time, champion 20
straight allies too.
Newly appointed Burberry CEO Christopher Bailey (the
first ever ‘out’ CEO of a FTSE 100 company) and Richard
Branson topped the lists respectively. Both powerhouses
within their industries, these men truly deserve to be
acknowledged for their role in raising the profile
of diversity in Britain’s boardrooms.
