Episode 58 Marty Mannion, Summit Partners

Andy Greenberg & Charlie Gifford Season 1 Episode 58

Marty Mannion shows up and puts 40 years of leadership stature at risk.  Summit Partners is a pioneer in the private equity industry, with more than $32 billion invested to date.  Marty has been at Summit since 1985 and currently serves as Chair of the Board of Managers.   His storied path begins in modest surroundings in the Bronx, before formative experiences at Regis High School, Princeton (where he was an Ivy champion basketball player) and Harvard Business School.  In school and early career stops, Marty was “just lucky” – always benefitting from mentors and others who saw his potential.  Extending to his private equity career, Marty and the hosts reflect on how hard work, intelligence and good nature somehow translate into good fortune.
