Janitha Sukumaran, Founder & Chief Sustainability Consultant of Rantau+, joins Reputation
Advisors International (RAI).

Sukumaran has spent more than 35 years working across journalism, strategic communications,
reputation management, and crisis advisory. During her career, she has advised governments,
multinational corporations, publicly traded companies, and purpose-driven organizations
across Asia – often during times of significant change and uncertainty.

She founded Rantau+ in 1992 and continues to lead the Malaysia-based independent
communications consultancy. Under her leadership, the firm has transformed into 
a purpose-driven, data-driven Communications Intelligence Advisory. She has also
pioneered Narrative Intelligence, an approach that combines communications, sustainability,
data, and AI to turn insights into action.

"Reputation is no longer built through communications alone; it is earned through
how organizations behave and create value for society," Sukumaran said. "I look 
forward to contributing an Asian perspective while strengthening the collective 
intelligence we can offer clients across the market."

"We are pleased to welcome Janitha Sukumaran as our newest member," said James F.
Haggerty, CEO of PRCG Haggerty LLC in New York and President of Reputation Advisors
International. "Her extensive background in journalism, strategic communications,
and reputation management provides exactly the expertise needed to strengthen our
organization."
