Women of Skift Spotlight: Mariana Gianaris, Director of Human Resources
Skift Take
Mariana Gianaris believes the future of work is built on trust, community and the kind of culture that actually makes people want to stay — and she's doing something about it.
For Mariana Gianaris, Human Resources has never just been about policies and processes. It's about people — and creating the conditions where they can genuinely thrive.
As Skift's Director of Human Resources, Mariana works at the intersection of culture, remote work and the very human side of building a company. In this installment of our Women of Skift Spotlight Series, she gets candid about what it means to lead with empathy in a fast-moving industry, the unique challenges women face in the workplace and why community — at work and beyond — is everything.
She also shares what she's learned from building teams across distributed environments, and what she wishes more organizations understood about creating cultures where women don't just survive, but lead.
It's a conversation that's equal parts honest, practical and inspiring.
