Maneesh Juneja has been a futurist and strategic advisor since 2012, helping leaders understand what's ahead. He focuses on how organisations can create future-ready systems that protect people, profit, and planet—and how adaptation to a changing world can create entirely new sources of value in the emerging resilience economy. Some of the narratives today lead many people to feel guilty and ashamed for simple acts of existence—having a family, flying to a wedding, shopping with friends, and Maneesh offers a more constructive path. Rather than focusing solely on mitigation and harm reduction, he helps leaders move from reaction to resilience. It's not about ignoring climate change and its impacts; his work also looks at adaptation: redesigning systems so that businesses, governments, and societies can thrive on a heating planet, regardless of how uneven or uncoordinated global responses may be.
Maneesh also approaches the future from a systems-level perspective. No sector can be viewed independently anymore, because, through the lens of planetary health, human health, economic viability, infrastructure, technology, and the natural world are inseparable. If there is a risk currently destabilising worlds, Maneesh can show how climate volatility, energy constraints, health pressures and tech acceleration are becoming the bedrock of emerging markets, products and value propositions.
He is a master of insights, informed by over three decades of experience with data and the intersection of systems and human behaviours. From his time at University College London's Whitehall study to Dunnhumby's management of Tesco's database to GSK R&D's large-scale analysis of the world's largest health insurance claims datasets, he's found opportunities via data at the intersection of systems and people. After pivoting from the security of his role with GSK to become a Digital Health Futurist for the next decade-plus, he became recognised among healthcare and life sciences leaders for how systems could change modern approaches to health. Having worked across various sectors, he's uniquely positioned to pinpoint signals that will help identify how resilience will become a competitive advantage.
Recognised on Netflix's The Future Of for insights as to what the world could look like when we might one day be able to 3D print human organs, he looks beyond traditional boundaries. He helps leaders understand how emerging technologies and environmental realities reshape business models, societies and long-term value creation.
Maneesh’s keynotes are known for their clarity, depth and strategic relevance. He blends data, systems thinking, cutting-edge science and lived experience to help audiences see the future more clearly — and act on it with confidence. Leaders leave with a sharper understanding of the forces shaping the next decade and how to build resilient, future-ready systems that work for people, profit, and planet.
