3 senior leaders recognised
Three BNP Paribas executives have been recognised in the 2019 lists of OUTstanding 100 LGBT+ Executives and 50 Ally Executives, published by Yahoo Finance. The lists highlight the industry role models who champion awareness of diversity and LGBT+ support within their organisations.
Group Chief Executive Officer Jean-Laurent Bonnafé is recognised in the OUTstanding 50 Ally Executives List, marking three consecutive years, that he has featured as a top ten ally.
Also recognised in the OUTstanding 100 LGBT+ Executives List are:
- Jeffrey Krogh, Managing Director, Corporate Coverage, BNP Paribas, who has been included in the list as an Executive Role Model for seven consecutive years since it was first published.
- Pippa Dale, Head of Global Markets Roadshows, EMEA, BNP Paribas, who has featured in the list three times.

Founder & CEO of INvolve, Suki Sandhu OBE, says:
"LGBT+ discrimination is still prevalent in a lot of the world’s biggest economies, but highlighting the work of successful role models changes people’s perceptions. They demonstrate that you can be successful and out at work, but most importantly inspire the next generation of LGBT+ leaders."
