For this episode, I had the opportunity to connect with Mara Swan who is currently an Operating Partner with Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm that invests in companies around the world.
During our conversation, I asked Mara what she thought were the most important leadership capabilities needed to be effective in today’s world. She quickly responded with leaning into change and driving performance. And so, that was our launch pad for our discussion on change and performance.
A bit about Mara Swan. She is currently an Operating Partner with Stonepeak, and her strategic role is to focus on talent.

Prior to ManpowerGroup, Mara was Senior Vice President of Global HR at MolsonCoors Brewing Company.
Today, in addition to Stonepeak Mara is on several private and public boards and provides guidance on HR strategy, talent and leadership.
