  • Kumutha Ramanathan

    Kumutha Ramanathan has over a decade of international experience as an award-winning journalist and seasoned communications strategist. She is also a public speaker, hosting and moderating major events for the Empire Club of Canada, Collision Conference, and others.

    From Toronto to New York to London and beyond, she has covered protests, floods, hostage takedowns, and many other dramatic events for 15 years as a journalist. Along the way, she has also sat down with CEOs, politicians, and other notable public figures as an anchor and reporter, asking them the tough questions. Her investigative feature on gay and illegal migrants in the United States of America (USA) led to her being awarded the First Place Prize for reporting by the South Asian Journalists Association in 2012.

    Ramanathan eventually chose to specialize in business journalism after moving to London, England. She reported on-air and produced for Bloomberg Television and Radio, Yahoo Finance, and other publications there. Following her accomplishments as a journalist, she was nominated for the Asian Women of Achievement Awards UK in 2017.

    Upon returning to her hometown of Toronto, she became a financial markets reporter and a regular fill-in anchor for BNN Bloomberg, the nation’s number-one business news network. She recently leveraged her international experience into founding The Summit Group, an executive communications and content creation consultancy.

    She holds degrees from the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University in New York and the University of Toronto. Outside of her professional life, she enjoys playing tennis and keeping up with her four children, who include two sons and twin daughters.
