Joanne May sees Women’s History Month as a time to acknowledge strides that have already been made and to think about what the future will bring. “I’ve?been fortunate to see many strong women drive change to promote equity in the workplace and society as a whole,” said Jo, a Managing Director of Human Resources. “While that journey continues, I'm filled with hope, knowing my daughter and future generations will have even greater opportunities." She’s observed first-hand the influence that successful women can have on shaping the lives and careers of younger women. Recalling her own experiences following the career of Baroness Karren Brady of Knightsbridge CBE, a renowned leader in sports, business, and government, Jo said, “Through triumphs and challenges, she's consistently demonstrated professionalism and humility. In a male-dominated field, she’s remained authentically feminine." When Baroness Brady spoke at our London Alts & Private Markets Forum in November, Jo was particularly moved. "She did not let me down,” Jo said. “It was inspiring to hear her champion women in the workplace, nurture the next generation of female leaders, and advocate for seeking talent outside of the mainstream." Jo’s dedication to fostering growth and equity plays an important role in ensuring that our #BrilliantlyDifferent culture will have a bright future. #WomensHistoryMonth #WHM2025 #WomenInLeadership
