Through her leadership on more than a dozen committees internally, Bijna makes impact with a focus on age, gender, ethnicity, race, LGBT, social mobility, mental-health, domestic abuse, intersectionality, empowerment – her effort spans the Americas, EMEA and APAC. Bijna advocates consistently to raise awareness of the Diversity, Equity and & Inclusion (DE&I) agenda and to bridge maturity across different regions in order to obtain consistency in the firm’s approach across the verticals. Forming strong alliances with external partners has been a creative means for Bijna to proactively strengthen awareness and focus across the DE&I umbrella. Externally, to support DE&I strategies, Bijna serves the Boards of The Inclusive Companies Network, Generation Success, Cajigo and Restorative Justice for All. Bijna is featured in the following books: Aspire To (2021), The Ultimate Professional Networker’s Guidebook Volume 1 (2019) and Women Kind: Unlocking the power of women supporting women (2018). In 2020, Bijna received an MBE for services to Diversity and Inclusion in Financial Services.
