Our History and Founder
Nexus LGBTQ (formerly The Network of Networks or “TNON”) was first established in London, UK in 2015, following the format of a similar organisation created for gender network leaders. It is chaired and curated by founder Daniel Ricard from PwC to bring LGBTQ employee network leaders together. In 2022, Nexus LGBTQ formed a partnership with US-based Out Leadership, the global LGBTQ+ business platform.
