Dedicating DE&I to LGBTQ+ and Other Underrepresented Communities

In the first episode of our DE&I podcast series and to honor pride month, SIFMA EVP and Head of DE&I, Cheryl Crispen sits down with JPMorgan Chase Managing Director and Global Head of LGBTQ+ Affairs, Brad Baumoel, for a discussion on the firm’s DE&I centers of excellence, in particular for LGBTQ+, and how they deliver impact for underrepresented and marginalized communities. They dig into how the programs and initiatives strengthen internal culture and raise visibility into communities, which in turn enables employees to reach their fullest potential and deliver inclusive products, services, and advice for their clients and customers. They highlight how this has addressed the barriers to opportunities and access to resources that too many of the community face.
