Carol Ward

Carol is an active member of Drive, Man GLG’s D&I network; WAM, the Women at Man network; and Pride@Man, the LGBT+ network, which she co-chairs. During 2020 she introduced Man Group to Girls Are INvestors (GAIN), which resulted in the firm supporting their first internship program and a number of colleagues to speaking at their events. As a panelist at Drive’s event on leadership, which featured the firm’s female COOs, Carol shared insights on what makes a good leader, how to lead teams through difficult times, and the importance of diversity. In 2020 she held a firm-wide virtual talk based on LGBT+ facts and figures which resulted in increased engagement with the internal Pride@Man networking channel. As well as leading the Diversity and Inclusion efforts aimed at hiring, promoting and retaining talented, diverse individuals, Carol also serves as a mentor to two women as part of Man Group’s mentorship program, an initiative which aims to develop the talent of high-potential female individuals.
