A huge congratulations to Dan Stubbs who has been shortlisted for one of the Top 12 nominees for this year’s !

Dan is a model employee at dentsu - a technical expert in their field, passionate about sharing knowledge with others, an empathetic leader and a key player in many impactful business projects. They have represented dentsu externally, speaking at events and on panels, and publishing thought leadership pieces.

They also bring their authentic self to work every day, changing perceptions in a working environment that may have previously been filled with stereotypes.
They have become a role model as both a technical expert and a q***r leader, and that has inspired others across the UK and beyond, including teams they don't even work in directly.

Whether that is holding the business to account on awareness and use of pronouns, educating the business on the importance of International Non-Binary day and what it means to them, or bringing an intersectional lens to the LGBTQIA+ ERG, they are a true diversity champion.
