Tate Smith is an award-winning activist and speaker, passionate about trans rights, social mobility, gender equality, and rethinking masculinities. Named one of Attitude Magazine's 10 LGBTQ+ Trailblazers and one of the 50 Champions of Inclusion on the 2023 Diversity Power List, Tate is also a LinkedIn Top Voice, recognised as a prominent and influential figure in both the trans+ community and the business world.

In 2023, he founded Tate Smith Consulting to help businesses develop inclusive policies, working with clients such as Barclays, McCann, JP Morgan, and the Science Museum.

With a strong intersectional approach, Tate shares his insights with warmth and directness across his social platforms, inspiring business leaders and fellow Gen-Zers to become advocates and drive change within their communities.
