“I’m beyond honoured and humbled to appear on the OUTstanding 100 LGBT+ Future Leaders’ List. As a queer person with privilege (white and CIS male) it’s important to me to amplify the voices of and be an ally to our whole community regardless of any recognition. Everyone at all levels has a role to play in making sure Aviva continues to be a diverse employer where LGBT+ people can be their authentic selves and can reach their full potential. I’d like to say a personal thank you to everyone for their contribution and am looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together next.” Daniel Clark-Bland, PMO Lead and co-chair, Aviva Pride

“I am so proud to be named in the OUTstanding Ally Executives List.  It is a privilege to be able to speak out for the LGBT+ community.  Driving LGBT+ inclusion and helping to tackle the many different challenges and issues they face needs active support from within the community and from allies too.
