Meet Maneesh Goyal, a serial entrepreneur with ventures spanning event marketing and design to hospitality and entertainment. An openly gay man, Maneesh is a self-described “insatiable people-person,” inspiring leader and inclusion advocate who has a unique perspective marrying work with purpose and keeping it real!

I sat down with him for a conversation on leading with authenticity and caught up on his newest venture, SONA, a restaurant he opened with actor, Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
