Graham Weaver Interviewed by Modern CEO for Fast Company and Inc.

At Alpine Investors, we believe in the transformative power of emerging leadership—an ethos exemplified by our CEO-in-Training (CIT) program and championed by our founder, Graham Weaver.

For a recent edition of the Modern CEO newsletter, Graham joined Mansueto Ventures CEO Stephanie Mehta for a conversation about Alpine’s highly selective CIT program and what he screens for when hiring recent grads. Graham offers an incisive look at why he sees limitless potential in Gen Z, drawing from his experience both as a lecturer at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business and as a leader who frequently hires recent grads and MBAs. His core belief? With the right mindset and support, emerging talent isn’t just ready for leadership—it’s already leading.

The article also explores how Gen Z’s distinct strengths—such as a values-driven approach to work, digital fluency, and a willingness to question traditional models—make them uniquely positioned to thrive in high-impact roles early in their careers.
