A new chapter for Workplace Pride 🌈

After 20 years at the helm, founder David Pollard is stepping down as Executive Director.

On 5 October 2026, Javier Leonor will take over — bringing global experience in LGBTIQ+ inclusion, belonging, technology and digital transformation.

At Accenture, Javier led inclusion programmes across 60 countries and 750,000+ employees, grew a global allyship platform from 40,000 to 120,000 active members, and expanded ERG chapters to 90+ across 45 countries.
Now, his focus turns to Workplace Pride.

The mission: build on 20 years of impact while reaching more workplaces, strengthening digital services, developing the Global Benchmark and amplifying the voice for LGBTIQ+ inclusion worldwide. 20 years of foundation. A new chapter of possibility.
