A Letter from Mario Giannini, CEO

They say the only constant in life is change and, not to be outdone, the last two years have changed everything. They changed the way we work, the way we eat and watch movies, the way we think about social justice and democracy. Countless changes are happening every day that will help to drive us forward toward new and better outcomes. One such change is the push for companies to prioritize diverse and inclusive workforces - and to use their collective influence and capital to create a more equitable global society. That certainly holds true for the private markets industry and for Hamilton Lane specifically.

Our company’s foundation has always been firmly rooted in diversity – from the firm’s founders to the steady and deliberate progress we’ve made in the decades since. What will never waver is our focus on building an inclusive, employee-focused culture.

We recently polled our nearly 500 employees around the world and were thrilled to see that our people view HL’s commitment to diversity as authentic and long-standing. They feel it in their interactions with senior leadership and with one another, and they perceive it in the tangible actions we’ve taken to influence and enhance inclusion within our own organization, as well as that of our broader industry. Nothing gives me more gratification than knowing our employees take pride in working for Hamilton Lane.
