Meet Manisha
We can evolve and reinvent ourselves time and time again. Believe in your limitless potential.
- Manisha Dhawan
My interest in understanding how the world works motivated me to pursue a B.S. in Chemistry at UC Irvine. After graduating, I joined our family business, diving deep into every facet of the company. I returned to UC Irvine to obtain my MBA, followed by several years at Big 4, boutique consulting and Fortune 500 companies.
Like many of you, I enjoy questioning the status quo. Working in our family business allowed me to experiment, fail, learn and iterate in a safe space. Throughout my career, I’ve been thrown into challenging situations where I had to get creative, roll up my sleeves and solve complex problems with limited resources. I developed my design thinking and innovation skills as a product owner, change management leader, client steward, and design thinking facilitator.
As a lifelong learner who values connection, creativity and growth, I’ve done my own deep introspection as I transitioned careers. I’ve learned a tremendous amount from over 2 decades of driving transformation across multiple industries.
While I’ve had hands-on experience in nearly every function, my passion lies at the heart of business — the people. I partner with my clients to develop human-centric skills, shift mindsets, and drive innovation. My approach is people-centric and outcome driven. It includes programs and tools to accelerate growth and ignite leaders and their teams.
I look forward to working together!
Manisha also serves on the board of The Design Thinking Executive Program at UC Riverside. The program empowers individuals and firms to re-imagine how they approach business in today’s dynamic landscape. Design thinking promotes a human-centered approach to innovation, and a strategy for creating a differentiated, competitive advantage.
