Prior to that morning in 2017, people at the insurance brokerage firm where I am CEO knew me as Wayne. At the age of 56, a few months after being promoted to my new position, I decided it was time to live as my authentic self and begin my public transition.
While approximately 1.6 million people in the United States are transgender, an incredibly small portion of those are C-suite business leaders. I was well aware that with my announcement, I was placing myself in a position where I had very few peers with whom to commiserate.
