Our Chairman Matthias Weber placed sixth, and board member Luca Condosta was also named, in INvolve’s global ranking of executives driving LGBTQIA+ inclusion in business.

Two members of the EPBN board have been named in the 2026 Outstanding Executives Role Model List, published by INvolve and supported by YouTube. Our Chairman and Chief Sales Officer & Member of the Board at HDI Bancassurance, Matthias Weber, placed sixth in the world. Our board member Luca Condosta was also named. The Lists recognise executives globally who are driving inclusion for LGBTQIA+ people in business.

Matthias’s response to the news said more about him than the ranking does. “Inclusive leadership is not a side project, it is how strong organisations are built. I am honoured to be recognised among the Outstanding Executives 2026. This recognition belongs equally to the EPBN team, our board and the member networks across Europe who make workplace equality a reality every day.”

Luca Condosta is VP HR and Global LGBTQ+ Program Lead at ABB, where his work brought more than 7,700 employees into Pride activities worldwide in 2025, and he has pushed LGBTQIA+ advocacy into growth markets where it is considerably harder to do, including India. He also serves on the board of Workplace Pride. As a father and an advocate for same-sex family rights in Italy and Switzerland, he has spent years using his visibility at work to make things easier for the people coming after him.

Two names from one board, in one year, was not planned. It is what happens when the people steering a network of 29 organizations in 24 countries are also doing the work inside their own. Workplace equality in Europe gets built by people who show up for it twice: once in their own company, and once for everybody else’s. Congratulations to Matthias, to Luca, and to everyone named in this year’s Outstanding Role Model Lists.
