OUTSTANDING VOICES BACKGROUND For more than 30 years, I have dedicated my career to the nonprofit sector, focusing on issues of child abuse and neglect, SHERILYN ADAMS family violence, mental Executive Director, Larkin Street health, substance abuse and homelessness. When did you come out at work? I came out when I was The first member of working at WEAVE (Women Escaping a Violent Environment) my family to attend in Sacramento — one of my first jobs — mainly because I was college (California State working in social services, and there were a lot of lesbians. University, Sacramento), There were other jobs I had where it was not OK to be out, like working for the courts. To some extent I could do that easily my early life was touched because of all the ways I carry visible privilege. As a white woman by many of these issues. who “appears straight,” I could be out with less risk than folks This personal history is who do not conform to society’s gender expectations. But it was part of what drives me to definitely hard to have to put a part of myself back “in the closet” be a catalyst for change — such as being careful not to use pronouns when talking about my current or past relationships and being mindful folks didn’t in the lives of at-risk see my truck (which had a rainbow sticker). populations. Serving as Larkin Street Youth Services’ Was there a particular factor or event that convinced you to do so? I was fortunate to work in an environment where there executive director since were other women, in particular, that were out. 2003, I have led the agency through significant growth, nearly tripling ‘As a white woman who “appears straight,” I could the number of housing beds, be out with less risk than folks who do not and putting conform to society’s gender expectations. But it Larkin Street at the vanguard of was definitely hard to have to put a part of myself the field for its back in the closet.’ innovative multi- service model to resolve youth homelessness.

How close do you feel your industry is to full LGBTQ equality? The nonprofit sector, especially in San Francisco, is mostly there. Whether the whole spectrum of LGBTQ identities are represented ( and included equally, especially transgender individuals, is probably the better question. Again, I am fortunate to be in an See videos and industry where it is by and large celebratory and super-accepted extended interviews to be out, but we all need to do work around full acceptance for of 2019’s OUTstanding people who are transgender and bisexual, for example. Voices at http://bizj.us/1pwdj9 How do you use your position and influence to advance LGBTQ equality? I believe it is our responsibility as leaders to advance social justice issues and issues of racial and LGBTQ equity. One of the ways we do that at Larkin Street is continuing to raise awareness about the impact of homelessness on LGBTQ- identified youth as well as being in the larger movement to end homelessness for LGBTQ-identified youth and youth of color. We also work to support, mentor and create opportunities for all.

How can this generation of out LGBTQ business leaders make it easier or better for future generations? I came out early in my career because others were out early at the workplace — visibility is key. We need to see others to know that we can do it too.

Amid rising inequality and our housing crisis, what is the trajectory on youth homelessness and poverty? Is the problem in San Francisco getting better or worse? Inequality and the housing crisis impacts all young people experiencing homelessness, but youth of color and LGBTQ-identified youth (and especially those with multiple identities) face additional challenges to becoming self-sustaining in the Bay Area. While we are all working hard to reduce the numbers of young people experiencing homelessness, and those numbers have gone down, the pathway out of homelessness and into economic independence is harder in an environment with significant inequality and insufficient housing.

What’s the most effective thing the business community in San Francisco and the Bay Area can do to reduce youth homelessness? You can be a champion in the movement to end youth homelessness by directly supporting services that help young people move into self-sufficien y. You can be a visible advocate for the needs of LGBTQ-identified and youth of color. And you

can say hello to someone you see on the street who may TODD JOHNSON be having a hard day. JUNE 7, 2019 29 30 SAN FRANCISCO BUSINESS TIMES

OUTSTANDING VOICES BACKGROUND I grew up in the Midwest and always knew I would go to college. I also grew up knowing I was gay, which meant I wanted to JOSE CISNEROS find a more welcoming Treasurer, City and County of San Francisco place to live. And to me that meant moving to When did you come out at work? My first job was at the largest a big city. I applied to bank in Boston where I entered their management training program. three or four colleges I was out to friends and some coworkers, but I wasn’t completely in Michigan because out. I think many LGBTQ folks can relate to that situation. Nobody that’s what all kids from asked and I wasn’t going out of my way to come out to everyone. After about six years I left for a job at Lotus. I was asked to serve Michigan do, but I also on their diversity committee and I was completely out at work. In applied to MIT because I the early ‘90s, Lotus became the first publicly traded company to read a news report saying offer same-sex health benefits. They even beat Apple to it! I was it was the leading science proud that my work on the diversity committee played a major role and engineering school. I in making that happen. got into MIT and moved to Boston, enjoying for the How close do you feel your industry or profession is to full first time an urban multi- LGBTQ equality? The city is a true leader in every sense of the word when it comes to LGBTQ rights. One example is that San Francisco cultural community and has consistently set a high bar in terms of rights and safety for vibrant LGBT community. transgender people. Having said that, I think nationally there is a lot of work ahead. We’ve seen a resurgence of discrimination against LGBTQ people. The more we can elect LGBTQ policymakers, the more inclusive our ( policies will be. See videos and extended How do you use your position and influence to advance LGBTQ interviews of 2019’s equality? The easy part is just being out and visible. Even today, OUTstanding Voices at when you’re an out elected official, you’re inevitably breaking down http://bizj.us/1pwdj9 barriers. I served on the board of League of California Cities and eventually became the League’s first openly gay board president. It’s also important to lead by example within the LGBT community. That’s why I proudly attended the first Trans March in San Francisco and the first Trans Job Fair, I walked around the room and personally thanked all the employers who showed up. Beyond that, I’ve personally slowed city contracts because the vendors were not providing equal partner benefits. And it’s important to me that the programs run out of my office have San Francisco’s diverse community in mind. We have a program called Smart Money Coaching that provides free one-on-one financial coaching. It was gratifying to attend a Smart Money Coaching event specifically tailored for LGBTQ seniors.

‘Business leaders and all leaders have a responsibility to show (LGBTQ) young people that they have a future. Even if their families don’t believe it. Even if they don’t believe it.’

How can this generation of out LGBTQ business leaders make it easier or better for future generations? Follow Harvey Milk’s advice and come out. Think about the fact that approximately 40 percent of homeless youth are LGBTQ, and the terribly high rates of suicide among LGBTQ young people. Business leaders and all leaders have a responsibility to show these young people that they have a future. Even if their families don’t believe it. Even if they don’t believe it.

Rather than just managing the city/county’s money, you have used the treasurer’s office as a platform for combating poverty. What has been the success of those efforts? I mentioned one program I’m very proud of, which is Smart Money Coaching. Another is called Bank On San Francisco. It helps people find a safe, affordable bank account with no overdraft or hidden fees. Our Kindergarten to College Program automatically opens a college savings account for every child entering the city’s public schools with $50 and offers financial incentives for families to make deposits. Families have saved more than $4.3 million, and 50 percent of those savings are from low- income families. The Financial Justice Project is also

housed in my offic . Their work has led TODD JOHNSON to a multitude of reforms to unnecessary government fines and fees, which disproportionately impact low-income communities of color. JUNE 7, 2019 31

‘It’s important for LGBTQ business leaders to be mentors and allies for the generation coming up behind us — to show them the paths we took to get here, and to encourage them to blaze their own.’

Have you encountered business situations within the last few years where you felt your LGBTQ status was still an issue? I’ve often traveled to our branch office in Salt Lake City. And it’s somewhere I’ve never felt entirely comfortable as a married gay woman. So when I started our new Zip Code Economies podcast, that was one of the first places I wanted to go. As I interviewed people who lived there, I learned that we shared so many of the same values, and that was able to transcend our different sexual orientations and religious beliefs. It reminded me we are all human.

How can this generation of LGBTQ business leaders make it easier or better for future generations? Finding allies is so important for young people’s development. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the mentor who encouraged me to get a GED and continue my education. So it’s important for LGBTQ business leaders to be mentors and allies for the generation coming up behind us — to show them the paths we took to get here, and to encourage them to blaze their own.

As an LGBTQ woman with a nontraditional academic background, do you have a different perspective from other economists? If our economy is going to work for as many people as possible, we must have true diversity of thought. We need as many different viewpoints as possible at our table if we’re going to look at the data and really understand what it’s telling us about how people are living and working in America today. We all look through our own lens — I’m no exception. Since I have an untraditional background, that means I have a different vantage point than a lot of other people. That’s one of my biggest strengths.

You’ve written and spoken about the need for more diversity in economics in general and the Fed in particular. What are you doing to help bring that about? Making the San Francisco Fed a more diverse and inclusive place to work is one of our top priorities because we know it’s going to make us a better organization. But it requires a lot of different initiatives at all levels. Sometimes it means going to speak at different venues about the culture we’re building, like a recent lunch I had with an LGBTQ group at the American Economic Association. Sometimes it means calling up every one of our prospective research assistants to tell them about the opportunities they’ll have working at the Fed, so that we can achieve a better gender balance in our research TODD JOHNSON department. I’m so grateful that these efforts are paying off. JUNE 7, 2019 33

At Bank of America, we know that our diversity makes us stronger. That’s why we are resolute in our support for our LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, plus) employees, customers and clients, and the LGBT+ communities that we live and work in.

OUTSTANDING VOICES BACKGROUND I’m a proud New Englander, raised by the beautiful beaches of Massachusetts. I studied at UMass Amherst and ERIN FLYNN moved to San Francisco Chief People Officer, Optimizely the year after I graduated. My first big corporate When did you come out at work? I’ve always been out at work. I found job was with PeopleSoft, ways to come out during the interview process. You’re usually asked a leading executive and personal question like, “What do you like to do in your personal time?” corporate recruiting. or something like that. And I’d find a way to weave in Chloe. “My partner, When Oracle launched Chloe, she’s a photographer, and we love to visit museums and galleries.” Or something like that. its hostile takeover bid, I left to join Salesforce as the VP of recruiting. Was there a particular factor or event that convinced you to do so? It was never more important to be out at work than in 2008, during the I eventually led all of Prop 8 campaign. It was a dark time — the Great Recession, so many HR. I stayed for nearly a families losing their homes and jobs. Obama brought us a lot of hope. decade. During the Prop 8 campaign, a group of employees created OutForce, Now I’m with the LGBTQ employee resource group at Salesforce. We went to Marc Optimizely as the chief (Benioff) and asked him to speak out publicly against Prop 8 and he did.

We are still fighting for equality in the workplace every day.’

How close do you feel your industry or profession is to full LGBTQ equality? I’m very proud that at Optimizely all our offic s around the globe embrace diversity and inclusivity. I feel like tech companies in the Bay Area have become more inclusive; most have employee resource groups and understand that diverse teams are more innovative and produce better results. Once you leave the Bay Area though, things can get dicey. Many in our global community still suffer in the workplace. Even something as basic as introducing one’s self can be extraordinarily difficult if your own gender identity doesn’t match what someone has “assigned” you. We are still fighting for equality in the workplace every day. The U.S. House of Representatives has just passed the Equality Act, but it’s certain to get killed by the Senate or a presidential veto. We are not done, people.

How do you use your position and influence to advance LGBTQ equality? Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion at Optimizely is multifaceted. We support our diverse communities through employee resource groups — Out@Optimizely, OptimizeLadies, DIG (Diversity & Inclusion Group), Veterans@Optimizely, #parents, OptiMoms, etc. At Optimizely, I’ve been very generously told by women, LGBTQ people, people of color, and other underrepresented minorities that they really appreciate that I am out and proud. It’s important to our employees that when our leadership team lines up at the front of the room, it’s a more diverse and inclusive team than what they’ve experienced at other companies.

How can this generation of out LGBTQ business leaders make it easier or better for future generations? By creating psychological safety for all workers — no matter the role or industry — make it safe to be queer, to be a woman, to be a person of color, to come from a different background than you. Leaders need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable sometimes, and having the empathy and genuine curiosity to want to hear more diverse voices in the room.

You’ve been in recruiting and HR for more than 20 years. How has the climate for openly LGBTQ candidates changed during that time? I’m still close friends with the first lesbian candidate I recruited 20 years ago. She’s now a senior executive with the NFL. Back then, even those of us who were out at work felt like we were part of a secret club. Today we have Lesbians Who Tech, we have LGBTQ meet-ups at big conferences,

and people put their queer activism on their LinkedIn profile. TODD JOHNSON JUNE 7, 2019 35

Everyone wants to celebrate Oakland’s working class roots and the port is the icon that does that best.

I don’t think either of you had a background in restaurants or barkeeping. Did that worry you? Sean: My mom actually ran an event service business so I learned to bartend through that. My friend, Derreck Johnson, allowed me to get back behind the bar in 2013 at Home of Chicken & Waffles to sharpen my craft. He then entered me in a Bay Area Best Bartender competition that summer and I came in third so after that, no, we had no worries. Richard: We always knew it would be a success because would be true to what the Oakland LGBTQ community wanted.

Work was not going to put me back ( in a closet.’ See videos and extended interviews of 2019’s OUTstanding Voices at http://bizj.us/1pwdj9 How do you use your position and influence to advance LGBTQ equality? I have pushed boundaries and made strides as an open, out, corporate deal-making attorney within my firms and with my clients. I concentrate on being the best lawyer I can be, staying active in the community and making sure opportunities are there for others like me. I think that shows integrity and authenticity — traits clients would want in any counsel. As my career matured into management roles, I’ve been able to push those opportunities more broadly, and the creation of the StartOut Growth Lab is certainly the best example of how I am working to make sure economic opportunity and equality is an option for LGBTQ entrepreneurs. I aim to assist them in their endeavors and business goals so they are given a fair shot at contributing their talents to our society like anyone else.

What was the genus of the StartOut Growth Lab at Nixon Peabody? How many businesses has it incubated? The StartOut Growth Lab is the nation’s first ever startup accelerator aimed at advancing companies founded or cofounded by LGBTQ entrepreneurs, and the first diversity-oriented accelerator housed within a major law firm. The Growth Lab aims to level the playing field for LGBTQ entrepreneurs, who often can’t find equal access to capital or business partners. Launched in 2017, the Growth Lab has graduated 20 companies, which have collectively raised $23 million in funding and created 95 new jobs. We will graduate another six companies this summer. I originally mapped out the idea for the Growth Lab on the back of a napkin during a casual meeting with Andres Wydler, the executive director of StartOut, the largest nonprofit organization for entrepreneurs in the LGBTQ+ community. The firm had space for the Growth Lab in its San Francisco offic , and I was eager to make it happen. When I brought the idea to our firm’s leadership team, there was no hesitation. I had their support within minutes. TODD JOHNSON JUNE 7, 2019 37 38 SAN FRANCISCO BUSINESS TIMES

How close do you feel your industry or profession is to full LGBTQ equality? What still needs to happen to achieve it?

‘My activism informs how I conduct myself at work. Since there are very few LGBTQ women of color in my position in the industry, I feel a duty to share my knowledge with others.’

Have you encountered business situations within the last few years which you felt your LGBTQ status was still an issue? Living in San Francisco and being at a company that is supportive, I can truthfully say I’m unaware if my status is an issue. I’ve witnessed more situations of gender discrimination and racial discrimination than discrimination for being a lesbian.

How do you use your position and influence to advance LGBTQ equality? I believe rising tides lift all boats so I do my part both in the LGBTQ community and outside. I work to bring LGBTQ awareness to the causes outside our community and similarly bring issues around immigration, class and race to LGBTQ mainstream organizations I support.

How can this generation of out LGBTQ business leaders make it easier or better for future generations? We need to be constantly vigilant and keep the pressure on companies to continue to make the workplace even more inclusive by calling out bad behaviors and also make sure the inclusive policies written by companies are practiced and not just gathering dust on a shelf.

You have been a longtime activist, and a longtime financial adviser. Do you find the two roles overlap or are they separate? They absolutely overlap! My activism informs much of how I conduct myself at work. As a financial adviser, I bring much of my business expertise to my communities. Since there are very few LGBTQ women of color in my position in the industry, I feel a duty to share my knowledge with others so we can all be more informed and in control of our financial lives.

Is the Asian-American LGBTQ experience different from other parts of the LGBTQ community? I think so. We may be LGBTQ but our cultural heritage plays a big part in how we are treated in the community. Our experiences are different and we are often left out of the conversation in mainstream LGBTQ dialogues. TODD JOHNSON JUNE 7, 2019 39

I came out at 20, and it was one of the hardest things something I carry with me I’ve done. I made a vow: if I survive this, I will commit my career everywhere. to serving my community. I went to Harvard Divinity School — and rather than getting ordained as a minister, I was keen to get Education: B.A., Princeton involved in social movements serving the LGBTQ community.

Trans communities receive a penny for every $100 awarded See videos and extended by foundations in the U.S., and LGBTQ communities receive 17 cents interviews of 2019’s for every $100 awarded globally. The advocates and providers serving OUTstanding Voices at our most marginalized communities operate on shoestrings, yet still http://bizj.us/1pwdj9 manage to do so much. This is a moment to give generously to groups like Horizons Foundation and Astraea Foundation; they are incredible gardeners to our grassroots communities.

‘I developed an inexorable sense of what it means to be simultaneously an insider and an outsider — and this is something I carry with me everywhere.’

How do you use your position and influence to advance LGBTQ equality? My time at Levi Strauss & Co. has been a master class in learning firsthand the “value of values” — in our case, originality, integrity, empathy and courage. Our foundation strives to be an advocate and ally for society’s most marginalized groups. The current environment is rife with disruptive change: Legal and policy changes are happening at a breakneck speed (including 600+ anti-LGBTQ bills at state and local levels since the 2015 marriage equality ruling) and rolling back decades of hard-fought gains. In early 2017, seeing many of the communities we’ve long cared about rendered highly vulnerable by our own administration’s policies, the Levi Strauss Foundation launched a $1 million fund to protect the rights of immigrants, refugees, ethnic and religious minorities and trans people across the U.S. and abroad.

How did LGBTQ equality and interests become a central theme of Levi Strauss’ philanthropy? In 1992, Levi Strauss & Co. became the first major corporation to provide domestic partner benefits to same- sex couples. In 2008, we were the only company to file a brief with the California Supreme Court in support of same-sex marriage. It’s heartening that by 2015, we were joined by 378 other employers in a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court on the business case for allowing same-sex couples to wed. We’re honored to be at the leading edge.

You have said that in driving social change, “tension makes us stronger.” What did you mean by that? Let’s face it, social change — for better or worse — emerges from moments of tension and crisis. Throughout our 166-year history, we’ve been compelled to take stands on the important social issues of our time. Along the way, we’ve ruffled some feathers. In 1992, Levi Strauss & Co. made the decision to prohibit matching gifts to the Boy Scouts of America owing to its discriminatory policies. This triggered a boycott campaign and spawned 130,000 letters and calls that were overwhelmingly negative. Led by Bob Haas, our CEO at the time, the company stood its ground. Tension is indeed clarifying — and builds character and strength. We take the long view: It’s all about standing on the right side of history. TODD JOHNSON TODD 40 SAN FRANCISCO BUSINESS TIMES

I started a marketing agency. I’ve run How close do you feel your industry or profession is to businesses doing social full LGBTQ equality? Let’s face it — the halls lack diversity.

‘I know I stand on the shoulders of our LGBTQ family members — those still among us and those who are no longer with us. Th y made it easier and better for me by coming out.’

How do you use your position and influence to advance LGBTQ equality? I’m always listening for an idea worth spreading. Many of these ideas worth spreading come from members of the LGBTQ community. I very much see it as my responsibility to give these ideas worth spreading the platform that is TED in my role as curator and licensee for TEDxSoMa. This year TEDxSoMa put a drag queen Latina immigrant on the stage to discuss the hierarchy of language. Maybe this isn’t so out of ordinary in San Francisco, but to a young person in a small town watching this video on YouTube, it’s a sign to them that they are not alone. That they fit in somewhere. That people exist out there who will love them just as they are.

How can this generation of out LGBTQ business leaders make it easier or better for future generations? I’m not the right person to ask about what others should do. I only know what I choose to do because of who I am and what my purpose is. In 1675, Sir Isaac Newton said, “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” I know I stand on the shoulders of our LGBTQ family members — those still among us and those who are no longer with us. They made it easier and better for me by coming out, by living their lives full of meaning and passion.

You have taken a sustained interest in protecting LGBTQ refugees around the world. What alerted you to this need? When I first arrived in San Francisco in 2012, I started as a volunteer of a local nonprofit that advocated for LGBTQ refugees around the world. That experience opened my eyes to the lack of protections that LGBTQ people suffer on a daily basis all around the world. LGBTQ people can be refugees too, and their lives at risk among other refugees. It was during that time at that nonprofit that we produced a short documentary film highlighting the stories of LGBTQ refugees in Uganda, South Africa and Mexico. This film was then used to assist the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees

(UNHCR) train those in field to help protect LGBTQ refugees. TODD JOHNSON JUNE 7, 2019 41

OUTSTANDING VOICES BACKGROUND I began my professional career at Merrill Lynch in Boca Raton, Florida, SHELLEY SARANITI part time in May 1997. After college graduation West Division Financial Advisor Development Program Performance Executive, Merrill Lynch/Bank of America I was fortunate enough to transfer to the Asheville, North Carolina, When did you come out at work? When I started working Merrill Lynch offic . I at age 19, I was really struggling to come out to myself — met my wife and we much less anyone else.

It is this generation’s Voices at responsibility to help LGBT+ http://bizj.us/1pwdj9 employees achieve the next level of career success.’

Have you encountered business situations within the last few years which you felt your LGBTQ status was still an issue? I always knew that as an out lesbian I would be discriminated against but I never imagined that that would happen here in the Bay Area. When I was in San Jose in 2008, an employee openly used a slur against me. The organization took every action to ensure I was safe and supported, and ultimately terminated the employee.

How do you use your position and influence to advance LGBTQ equality? As co-chair of the LGBT+ Executive Leadership Council — Bank of America’s network of senior level executives who are all out at work — my visibility is key. It is amazing how much difference it can make to employees to know that a successful executive is out.

How can this generation of out LGBTQ business leaders make it easier or better for future generations? Come out, come out, wherever you are. Truly — being visible has the ultimate impact. It is this generation’s responsibility to mentor and sponsor LGBT+ employees to help them achieve the next level of career success. There are several industries that LGBT+ individuals have shied away from due to the perception of exclusion and we are responsible for changing this perception.

Does BofA still encounter regional differences in attitudes toward LGBTQ equality across its national network? How do you manage them? We experience differences mainly globally due to different laws. For example until last year you couldn’t identify as out at work in India but you could identify as an ally. This wasn’t due to the attitude of the company, but to the previous laws. Locally, we offer different resources for our operations facilities and contact centers where you find people with limited exposure to those who identify as LGBT+. These resources are to help drive awareness, such as training and programs on Ally, Bisexual, Transgender, and “LGBT+ 101” courses, LGBT+ History and When Gender Doesn’t Fit in a Box.

OUTSTANDING VOICES BACKGROUND I was born and raised in Hong Kong before attending Whittier College in Southern California. I served as assistant MINNA TAO controller of a regional Vice President and Director of Community and Business Initiatives, Recology bank, as deputy assessor recorder for the City and When did you come out at work? The story of my coming out County of San Francisco, began February 11, 2004, three days before Valentine’s Day. At and as B2B marketing that time, parts of the country were promoting constitutional director with a leading amendments to ban gay marriage. I was the deputy assessor technology company. recorder, when then Mayor Gavin Newsom, sworn into offic a month before, directed us to start issuing marriage licenses Prior to joining Recology, to same-sex couples. With the help of hundreds of volunteers, my last position was with we went from our normal 15 couples per day to over 2,000 Bank of America as SVP same-sex marriages in four days. My boss, Mabel Teng, the for e-commerce and assessor recorder, held daily press conferences. During one, interactive banking. she introduced me as the key person behind the scenes making all this possible, and then introduced my girlfriend at the time. I was outed me on national TV! I totally freaked out as I had not yet come out to my parents. I got through it, and from that time on I swore I would always be OUT and PROUD! (

See videos and extended interviews of 2019’s OUTstanding Voices at ‘We invited the Recology board and http://bizj.us/1pwdj9 C-suite to our wedding. Th t is how we break barriers, not just sharing a workplace, but celebrating life together.’

How close do you feel your industry is to full LGBTQ equality? I feel very fortunate to be living in the Bay Area where being “out and proud” allows me to have conversations that otherwise may not be possible. For example, a union leader spoke to me about how his daughter was a lesbian. Our route drivers have talked to me about their own children, or sister, brother, niece or nephew, that are gay or questioning. I feel privileged to be a confidant of a high-ranking banking official who is still very closeted. To achieve full LGBTQ equality not just in our industry, but all industries, requires a company leadership to believe in and embrace the value of a diverse workplace by providing opportunities for hiring and advancement.

How do you use your position and influence to advance LGBTQ equality? I choose to actively participate and support organizations that advance our rights. Unfortunately, during our current political climate, it can feel more like fighting to not lose the rights we have already earned. I have served as a board member for NCLR, EQCA, Project Open Hand and Alice B. Toklas. I help support Horizon Foundations, Transgender Law, LGBT Center and HRC, along with many other worthwhile organizations. An issue that is near to my heart is aging LGBTQ seniors that face unique issues related to health care and housing.

How can this generation of out LGBTQ business leaders make it easier or better for future generations? By living an authentic and honest life, being out and proud. Nurturing and mentoring young LGBTQ and creating equal opportunities. Being openly gay, we invited the Recology board and C-suite to our wedding. I would not be surprised if most of them had never attended a same-sex wedding. I can say they had a wonderful time and met some amazing people. That is how we break barriers, not just sharing a workplace, but celebrating life together.

You’re known as an advocate on employee ownership, economic development and poverty reduction, among other things. Do you see Recology as being far more than a waste and recycling collection company? Absolutely! Recology is 100% employee-owned, working to a common goal: to help San Francisco achieve Zero Waste. Recology leadership views our employees as our shareholders, so our obligation belongs to them, not Wall Street. We also believe in social justice and economic equality. Many of the jobs created over the last 20 years have been filled through a community hiring initiative that looks to the economically challenged neighborhoods in the southeast of the city. Today, we have employee-owners from those communities that own homes and have sent their TODD JOHNSON children to some of the best public universities in California. JUNE 7, 2019 43

How close do you feel your industry or profession is to full LGBTQ equality? City planning is becoming more diverse, though real estate ( and transportation are still quite straight-bro dominated. Nationally, women only make up 16% of architecture and engineering positions. See videos and I’m pleased to report that Arup is well beyond the market average, with extended interviews 29.4% women in technical roles — but even this could be improved. of 2019’s OUTstanding For the last several years, Arup has produced an Equality, Diversity Voices at & Inclusion report, where they transparently track gender and http://bizj.us/1pwdj9 minority performance at every level of the organization: recruitment, promotion and pay equity, development, and employee engagement and retention. All the trends are moving in the right direction.

Have you encountered business situations within the last few years which you felt your LGBTQ status was still an issue? I feel very lucky to be a professional in the Bay Area, and I have encountered little homophobia, but I also recognize the color of my skin and my gender presentation also grant me societal privileges not always enjoyed by lower- income, people of color and more gender-fluid individuals. Prejudice against transgender people in particular seems like the last frontier, and just the presence of transgender people still pushes straight people — and frankly also some gays and lesbians — out of their comfort zone.

How do you use your position and influence to advance LGBTQ equality? As one of the few out women in leadership positions in my field, I think it’s important to be a positive role model and mentor (formal or informal) to younger women, queers and people of color. Because of historic and institutional bias, executives need to recognize that not everyone is starting with a level playing field, so it’s essential to foster these individuals’ skills and empower them in the face of new professional challenges.

How was it that you came to be one of the main organizers of the global climate action summit in San Francisco? Serving in Governor Brown’s administration was the biggest honor of my life, and the Global Climate Action Summit was the capstone. It was deeply inspiring to connect with climate business leaders, public officials and nongovernmental organizations from around the world who came to the city with ambitious commitments to meet (or exceed) the Paris agreements. Only with these types of transformation of our economy, TODD JOHNSON government and civil society, will humans be able to survive on this planet. JUNE 7, 2019 45

SAN FRANCISCO DESIGN FIRM LOOKS TO LEASE HISTORIC MISSION BUILDING The deal: Design and consulting firm IDEO is in talks for a 120,000-square-foot chunk of space at the historic Lion Building at 2525 16th St. in San Francisco, according to two sources familiar with the discussions. Inside the deal: A lease has not been signed, but a deal of that EAST BAY size would take up the majority of the 150,000-square-foot site, sources said. It’s not immediately clear whether a potential deal would mean consolidating space Walnut Creek thinks it’s or an expansion.

IS IT HARDER FOR ENTREPRENEURS TO TELL THEIR STORIES, GIVEN THAT HIGH-PROFILE COMPANIES LIKE THERANOS AND UBIOME ARE CREATING A MORE CYNICAL AUDIENCE? One of the good things about those stories, which are mostly bad, is that it really forces people to be a lot more specific, so you can’t just say, “I’m an interesting person, therefore, you should fund me.” It has to be a lot more like, “Th s specific therapeutic is a very interesting scientifi story. Let me explain that to you,” and get over that skeptical hump, and then we can talk about interesting personal backstory or stuff ike that. But it kind of makes the science come a lot more to the floor, which is actually kind of a good thing.
