Kumutha Ramanathan is a dynamic CEO and seasoned communications strategist with over a decade of international experience. She has now expertly harnessed her experience as a journalist with Bloomberg News and other tier-one media agencies to help her clients tell their brand stories and elevate their media strategies through her consultancy, The Summit Group.
From Toronto to New York to London, Kumutha has built a distinguished career covering high-stakes events—from murders to protests to hostage situations—across the globe. Over 15 years, she reported on everything from dramatic breaking news to in-depth investigative features, including her award-winning story on gay and illegal migrants in the U.S., which earned her the First Place Prize for Reporting from the South Asian Journalists Association in 2012.
Her career took a strategic turn when she chose to focus on business journalism in London, England. Kumutha’s sharp financial insight and ability to manage breaking news later helped her secure an on-air role with BNN Bloomberg in Toronto, Canada. Notably, she played a leading role in the network’s coverage of the Bank of Canada’s interest rate decisions in 2022 and 2023, establishing herself as an editorial leader for the network’s North American audience.
With her extensive background in journalism and media strategy, she now helps businesses and C-suite professionals craft compelling narratives that resonate across platforms. She is a proud alumna of Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in Manhattan, USA and the University of Toronto. Kumutha is also a passionate tennis player and devoted mother to four children, including twin daughters and two sons.
