Minaxi Mistry (She|Her)

Challenging the changes everyday

Minaxi Mistry is the Founder and CEO of Equality Leaders. She has been championing equality, diversity and inclusion for over 25 years. Having started her career within the publishing industry within a niche space, Minaxi has been fortunate to work with clients across multiple sectors and grown her network globally. She has been instrumental in devising new and effective diversity and inclusion strategies which had had a positive and real impact in the workplace and society. Minaxi’s work to campaign for equality started soon after the death of Stephen Lawrence, when a young black boy was murdered in a racially motivated attack on the streets of London in April 1993. Stephen’s tragic murder was a watershed moment for race relations in Britain and like George Floyds murder in the US some three decades later, it represents a turning point in our quest for a more equal and equitable society. In 2017, Minaxi was appointed to the Campaigns Board for Historic Royal Palaces and 2019 took the position of Corporate Advisory Board Member for the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith. She supports both charities with their wider fund raising activities. As an Indian woman, who plays many roles in life, Minaxi brings many years of varied and lived experiences to the forefront of campaigning for a fair and equal world.
