profile from 2009
Stephani Kingsmill was named to the 2009 list of Canada's 100 Most Powerful Women by the Women's Executive Network.
Stephani, who was working as Senior Vice President and General Manager, Real Estate, at Manulife Financial, reflected on her career path and how her management style has changed over the years.
“In the beginning," shared Stephani, "I was more focused on subject matter expertise and hands-on management, but over the last 10 years, I’ve had five different roles in three distinctly different businesses. That has forced me to rely less on my technical expertise and more on an ability to draw upon different points of view. That’s something I’ve always valued, but now it’s even more important for me as a general manager.”
