Our CEO named one of the UK’s Top 50 equity trailblazers

We’re delighted to announce that our CEO and Founder Taban been named one of the UK’s Top 50 equity trailblazers in the 2023 Trailblazer50 list, compiled by WeAreTheCity.

The list has been revealed ahead of International Women’s Day in support of its #EmbraceEquity theme, highlighting individuals who are working tirelessly to make society a better place for women.

Taban is recognised as one of many who go above and beyond to drive conversations around domestic violence against women and girls, period poverty, race, menopause, FGM, child marriage and social mobility.

She joins a host of activists, athletes, professors, CEOs, mentors and writers who share one common goal: to change the way society perceives equity and to spearhead meaningful action.

“First and foremost, our Trailblazer50 seeks to bring public recognition of the impact and influence these changemakers are having on society,” says Vanessa Vallely OBE, CEO of WeAreTheCity. “In the spirit of their work and aspirations, we asked each trailblazer what action they would like to see organisations or the government take to drive gender equity.”

Speaking of her inclusion on the list, Taban says: “It’s a huge honour to be recognised in this way, alongside so many others in the UK who are doing such incredible work. Gender equity is something I have always been so passionate about, and my team and I will keep doing all we can at the Lotus Flower to improve women and girls’ lives and ensure they have a voice.”

The 2023 Trailblazer50 List is sponsored by HSBC Bank, who will be hosting a networking lunch at its HQ in Canary Wharf at the end of March. Here, the trailblazers will come together to connect, hear each other’s stories, share best practice and further strengthen their resolve to bring change.
