Manish Sood Biography

Manish Sood is the founder, chairman, and CEO of Reltio, recognized as the first cloud-native, software-as-a-service (SaaS) data platform. Sood leveraged his experience from developing the world's first master data management (MDM) platform at Informatica to establish Reltio. He began his career working on the automation of large-scale power plants during a period of economic liberalization in India, gaining early exposure to customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and a variety of enterprise systems deployed to help global businesses operate more efficiently. This foundation led Sood to a consulting opportunity in the United States, marking the start of his career in Silicon Valley and the broader enterprise technology sector.

Sood founded Reltio to help organizations accelerate the value of their data and achieve business outcomes. He identified a need for enterprises to treat core data as an interoperable and reusable asset, addressing this by providing data management and unification capabilities that operate at scale in the cloud as a SaaS offering, delivering outcomes in real time. Sood is also the co-author of a patent that advanced MDM through a global business identifier. Reltio began as a bootstrapped venture, funded by Sood’s personal savings, with a mission to deliver a cloud-native solution for enterprise data management.

Sood has led Reltio’s growth from concept to a high-growth company with more than $185 million in annual revenue. Valued at $1.7 billion, Reltio unifies multi-source, complex data into a single source of trusted information for more than 125 enterprise customers in over 140 countries. The company has been featured as a leader in the Forrester Wave on Master Data Management, ranked No. 153 in the Inc. 5000 with 2,500 percent revenue growth, named by Fortune as the top small or medium technology workplace, and cited by Forbes as one of the best cloud companies to work for. Sood has also been ranked among the top 100 CEOs in America by Owler.

Reltio’s AI-powered platform provides the intelligent data foundation enterprises need to support real-time data intelligence and AI transformation. The company’s customer base includes organizations such as Pfizer, L'Oréal, Xerox, and AstraZeneca. Reltio has raised $237 million in total funding across five rounds. Sood is a thought leader and member of the Forbes Technology Council, contributing insights on data strategy, artificial intelligence, and enterprise transformation. He co-authored "Agentic Intelligence: Strategy at the Speed of Data" with digital strategy scholar Venkat Venkatraman, published by Forbes Books, which addresses how organizations can leverage AI through an operating model that emphasizes collaboration between humans and intelligent machines using trusted, real-time data.
