Meet Out & Equal CEO,
Erin Uritus
Erin Uritus has worked internationally to advocate for marginalized groups with a dedicated focus on equal rights, press freedom, racial equality, global education, and LGBTQ+ inclusion.
From Europe to West Africa and the Middle East, her experience includes leading significant modernization and cultural transformation initiatives in private and public sectors and building capacity within international institutions.
Since joining Out and Equal in early 2018 as a Board member and now as CEO, Erin has been instrumental in stewarding the organization through a period of significant transformation—public policy updates, legislative changes, and the COVID-19 pandemic—all while establishing the organization as a leader in the “Business of Belonging,” nearly tripling its staff and revenue.
One of the only openly bisexual CEOs, she is most proud of the dynamic community of LGBTQ+ and allied leaders she works alongside. It’s through this work and community of Partners, changemakers, and advocates, that Erin has a fervent belief that despite the obstacles and challenges we may face, inclusion, belonging, respect, dignity, equality, and love will prevail.
Senior Leadership Team
Out & Equal’s leadership team blends their commitment to inclusion and belonging with expertise from a spectrum of private and public sectors, including various industry verticals. There is no team better positioned to support companies and organizations as they shape their inclusion and growth strategies.
