Rachel Hussey

Ms Hussey is featured in the Top 100 Female Executives 2018 category, which honours 100 international senior women role models who are helping to increase gender diversity in the workplace.

The HERoes lists are a celebration of the fantastic strides being made in gender diversity around the world and are published annually by the Financial Times.

All of the 2018 Champions of Women in Business were nominated by peers and colleagues and then reviewed by the FT & HERoes judging panel.

Ms Hussey plays a key role in Arthur Cox’s Women in the Firm initiative and is deputy chair of the 30% Club Ireland, a business-led movement committed to achieving better gender balance at all levels of organisations.

Brian O’Gorman, managing partner at Arthur Cox, said: “We are delighted that Rachel has been recognised for her considerable work in championing women and gender balance in the workplace.

“Arthur Cox has a formal initiative to support the advancement of women and diversity in the firm. It is important to have champions such as Rachel and our diversity partners Simon Hannigan and Grainne Hennessy to drive gender equality and diversity and inclusion policies, both in the firm and the legal profession.”
