Manoj Raveendranathan

Manoj Raveendranathan, B.Eng., MBA, brings a steady hand to rooms where details decide outcomes. A Strategic Business Analyst, Transition Coach, and Change Catalyst based in Cambridge, he helps organisations make excellence repeatable without making it feel mechanical, aligning technology with human judgment and purpose. Honoured as Rising Leader 2025 at the Veblen Directors Leadership Awards, he champions ethical innovation, responsible AI, and ESG as practical levers for growth rather than slogans.

At Cambridge University Press & Assessment, Manoj’s mandate sits at the convergence of education, technology, and people-first leadership. He guides digital transformation that respects the learner, strengthens operating rhythm, and travels across teams and geographies. His framework blends scenario planning with Ikigai principles and ESG values, creating decision pathways that are rigorous, humane, and resilient under pressure.

Manoj’s arc spans more than fifteen years across education, finance, logistics, retail, and technology, experience that gives him an instinct for systems and a calm fluency with complexity. He is a vocal advocate for frugal AI, green software, and regenerative ecosystems, keeping sustainability visible in the moments when speed and scale threaten to push it aside. Beyond the day job, he contributes thought pieces to EnterpriseZone.cc and convenes dialogue in “The ESG Strategist,” a LinkedIn community focused on purpose, impact, and ethical innovation.

His leadership philosophy: “Love Yourself Enough to Level Up”, captures the way he coaches teams: growth as discipline and care, progress measured by clarity, reliability, and stakeholder trust. Colleagues recognise him for standards that travel, and for translating ideas into systems that deliver.

EliteLeaders.Club is pleased to spotlight Manoj Raveendranathan, a leader who brings purpose to the foreground and builds transformation that lasts.
