Whilst Pink News baffled some of us this week by awarding past Section 28 supporter David Cameron with their Ally of the Year Award we, at Funny Women, are delighted to learn that our advisory board member Misa von Tunzelman has been named as one of the 2016 Leading LGBT Executives in the OUTstanding Top 100.

Misa

 

The Leading LGBT Executives category recognises 100 senior role models who are helping to make the workplace a more welcoming place and we are pleased to say Misa is number 45 on this list of LGBTQ+ executives.

Misa is lead director for UK Marketing and Communications at real estate professional services firm JLL and is one of few out bi people in property, actively promoting LGBT inclusion and the need for diversity in all its forms within her company and the wider industry.

We then went on to work with Misa and her team when we were commissioned by JLL to work on the award-winning internal communications #IcantbelieveIsaidthat campaign.  A series of short comedy films to improve diversity and awareness of unconscious bias in the workplace.

Congratulations Misa!
