Maya is dedicated to having a positive impact on society and championing inclusion. She does this in various ways at work and beyond, such as through her podcast, That’s My Name, which focuses on lived experiences of bias related to names and identity, leading LMF Network’s Social Mobility programme, and mentoring young people to raise their aspirations. Maya has multiple leadership roles within Barclays’ Gender Network, Win. She is Founder and Leader of the Charity Mentoring Programme, one of Win’s flagship offerings, which supports the professional development of network members and staff at charities.

The programme has had a positive impact in developing the leadership and coaching skills of over 500 mentors and mentees. Maya also co-leads Win’s community-focused committee, which develops campaigns to raise money for charity partners and skills-based volunteering.
