Join us for a conversation between Tris Reid-Smith (CEO and co-founder of Pride Wide) and Alderman Tim Hailes, who will be – subject to election – the first openly gay Lord Mayor of the City of London. Tim will discuss with us a career journey that has led him to preparing for his new role as ambassador for the UK’s financial and professional services sector, the power of talent and the opportunities for the City of London as an undeniable hub where diverse talent can succeed. This breakfast seminar is hosted by RBC and forms part of the inaugural Pride on the Plaza.
