Manju Appathurai Services
Judgment Over Facilitation.
Biological Authority Over Corporate Optics.
Dr. Manju Appathurai is engaged by Boards, CEOs, and global leaders at the precise moment where decisions collide with institutional survival, reputational risk, and biological limits. As a licensed psychologist with a PhD in Crisis Economy, her role is not to "support" your journey; it is to intervene in the neurological and systemic patterns that trigger operational failure.
With 21 years architecting transformations for world governments, multilaterals, and global enterprises across ASEAN, MENA, and the EU, she provides the high-stakes advisory that spreadsheets and AI cannot replicate.

Her advisory work focuses on:

Culture and behavioural signals that undermine governance intent
The human psychology beneath strategy execution and board confidence
Engagements are discreet, principal-led, and accountability-driven—providing boards and CEOs with clear, psychology-informed guidance on what to advance, recalibrate, or stop. This is advisory for situations where credibility, governance, and consequence matter more than alignment or optics.

MA Services Interest
Dr. Manju Appathurai advises boards, CEOs, and senior executives at moments where decisions carry institutional, reputational, and long-term human consequences. Her role is not facilitative or developmental—it is judgment-based, confidential advisory grounded in psychology, governance realities, and lived exposure to complex systems.
With over 20 years advising governments, multilaterals, regulators, government-linked corporations, and global enterprises, she is engaged to surface decision risk, power dynamics, succession exposure, cultural fault lines, and leadership blind spots before they escalate into operational failure or public fallout.
