Championing Inclusion on a Global Stage: RX Global’s Casey Edwards on Identity and Ambition

In a powerful interview with Attitude magazine, RX Global’s Casey Edwards opens up about the intersection of identity, leadership, and building inclusive workplaces across international markets. From personal reflections to professional impact, Casey shares what it means to lead with authenticity in today’s evolving DEI landscape.

"Can you share your personal journey with the LGBTQ+ community?

My journey is ever evolving but I am fortunate to share it has been overwhelmingly positive! I can point to strong, established friendships as the pivotal source of support that have helped me become a confident gay man I am today. Now, nearly seven years into my London life, I’m deeply grateful for my established circle of friends who are there for me in case of any doubt about myself, my relationships or my career. Some have hosted me in their homes in Ireland for Christmas, while others invite me for dinner almost nightly, recreating the intimate feeling of family in times I can’t reach mine due to the geographic distance between us.

In the past year, I have turned focus on building a network of LGBTQ+ professionals and embracing my authentic self at work. I joined RX Global’s Proud To Be mentorship program, a network for LBGTQ+ and allies with vested interest in helping one another fulfill professional ambitions. I sought guidance on how to bring my whole self to the workplace, recognizing that hidden aspects of my identity held untapped potential. My mentor, now a close friend, provided practical advice and encouraged me to seize opportunities that allowed my personality and identity to flourish. Fast forward to today, and I’m not only a mentor myself but also an active member of the Global Pride Committee and even spoke on LGBTQ+ panel – achievements that show case my identity that felt unimaginable just a year ago."
