The strongest risk leaders don't just strengthen controls, they connect governance, risk, transformation, and business performance.
Manu Mohanan has been appointed Managing Director at Protiviti India Member Firm, bringing 13+ years across EY and KPMG India in risk advisory, internal audit, controls, and business transformation for IT/ITeS.
At KPMG India, he progressed through five leadership levels while advising technology and IT/ITeS organisations and working with CXOs on governance, risk, operational performance, and profitability. Now at Protiviti India Member Firm, he leads advisory for IT and ITeS organisations across Internal Audit, risk management, margin improvement, large deals, and business process transformation. His edge is the combination of risk and controls expertise with commercial understanding of margins, complex deals, and transformation.
An Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode MBA and Industry Leader for the Information Technology sector, Manu brings deep sector-specific risk advisory experience to his new leadership mandate.
At Boardroom CXO, we're seeing IT/ITeS companies increasingly value risk leaders who can connect control discipline with commercial outcomes and transformation.
For risk leaders: What is harder, strengthening controls without slowing transformation or protecting margins within complex deals?
