In recognition of their support and leadership in the LGBT
community, State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) Executive Vice
President and Chief Marketing Officer Hannah Grove has been named
to the OUTstanding LGBT Leading Ally Executives list, and Morgana
Bailey, Vice President in Global Human Resources, has been named to
the LGBT Future Leaders list released today by OUTstanding in
collaboration with the Financial Times. The lists recognize
business leaders who are outspoken and unwavering in their support
for LGBT people in the workplace and professionals who go above and
beyond their day jobs to improve the working environment for LGBT
employees.
Grove has championed State Street’s diversity and inclusion
policies since she first joined the company in 1998. Today, she
serves as executive sponsor for State Street Pride and Friends, the
company’s LGBT employee network. State Street has long been a
leader in workplace diversity, maintaining partnerships with Gay
& Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) and Stonewall LGBT
rights charity in the United Kingdom.
“I’m honored to be recognized as an ally for the work we do here
at State Street and hope that our ranks will continue to grow,”
Grove said. “Encouraging and embracing diversity delivers better
results, a more engaged workforce where people feel comfortable in
bringing their true selves to the office and a more dynamic
culture. I’m also thrilled to be recognized alongside Morgana, who
is one of the bravest individuals I know.”
Last year, Morgana Bailey revealed a part of herself that she
had kept hidden for more than 16 years to an audience of her
colleagues during a TED@StateStreet talk. She reflected on how fear
of what others might think can makes us judge ourselves with the
hope that sharing her experience could inspire others to be open
about who they are personally and professionally. Click here to

had more than two million views globally.
OUTstanding, a not-for-profit professional network for LGBT
executives and their allies first published the Leading LGBT &
Ally Executives List in 2013. The list has since expanded and
includes past honorees like Virgin Group Founder and CEO Richard
Branson, Barclaycard CEO Valerie Sorrano Keating, and Facebook
Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerburg.
“We are delighted to see Hannah featured in this year’s
OUTstanding & Financial Times Top Ally list,” said OUTstanding
CEO and Founder Suki Sandhu. “She is a role model who works
tirelessly to ensure that the workplace is equally inclusive for
everyone. Hannah deserves credit for the leadership she shows in
welcoming people of all backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender
identities.”
