Last Monday night, our global managing partner, Dominic Barton, received the 20/20 Visionary Award from The Trevor Project. The award recognizes businesses and business leaders that empower their employees to be themselves both personally and professionally and that give back to the community, especially LGBTQ youth.
McKinsey “has done a huge amount for LGBTQ people in general, for youth specifically, and for The Trevor Project in particular,” Amit Paley, The Trevor Project CEO and executive director, said in a recent interview with Forbes. “They have had supportive policies early on for their employees who are part of same-sex relationships, [they have] an LGBTQ employee group and it covers gender-affirmation surgery for trans employees. [Dominic] Barton, in particular, has been integral in pushing for policies and creating a culture at McKinsey that supports the LGBTQ community."
“I am personally honored and humbled to accept the 20/20 Visionary Award on behalf of McKinsey,” said Dominic in his acceptance speech last night, “and am deeply inspired by the life-saving work that The Trevor Project is doing for LGBTQ youth and for the broader community. As Amit says, it’s so important that our LGBTQ youth know that they are beautiful and that they are not alone. We want the best people in the world—in all the ways that they are diverse.”
