From Responsibility to Results in a Global Remote Team - ep. #013
How do modern organizations navigate a digital world where technology evolves faster than teams can adapt?
In this week’s episode of the Return to People podcast, host Kaleem Clarkson sits down with Manish Hirapara, a digital transformation trailblazer and CEO of one of the fastest-growing digital strategy firms in the United States, PeakActivity.
Manish’s career journey from software engineer to overseeing $7B in global e-commerce sales at a Fortune 100 retailer, to building his own thriving company, gives him a rare, front-row perspective on how technology, people, and business strategy intersect.
In this conversation, Manish explains why companies today need digital “Sherpas”, trusted guides who help organizations navigate the overwhelming world of e-commerce, AI, and rapidly shifting customer behaviors. He also shares powerful insights on developing a culture of service, where leaders empower others, teams thrive through collaboration, and success is built on lifting people up rather than managing them from above.
Packed with clarity and practical wisdom, this episode is a must-listen for anyone leading teams, building digital strategy, or steering their organization through transformation.
Stay tuned! This one will change the way you think about leadership in the digital era.
