Natasha Condon started her role as global head of core trade in JPMorgan’s corporate and investment bank at the height of the first UK Covid-19 lockdown in May last year. On her first day, she greeted her new team over Zoom. 

“I was new, and I didn't have any business strategies to talk about yet, so I talked about myself,” she said. “And it felt really liberating to say ‘she’, when I talked about my partner, talking to this whole global team for the first time knowing that they were all going to know me as myself from the beginning.”
