Binesh Menon

Director Learning & Organisation Development Asia Pacific

Emerson
Binesh Menon, a distinguished learning enthusiast, currently heads Learning & Organisation Development for Asia Pacific at Emerson. Over two enriching decades, his experience spans leadership roles in diverse geographies, spearheading workshops that impacted over 25,000 individuals in 14 countries. He demonstrates his commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion by establishing and leading the Asia Pacific DE&I Council for his organisation.

Menon’s dedication to fostering talent has a significant impact, earning him prestigious recognition across the globe and within his local industry.

Being a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) practitioner, Menon harmoniously blends traditional talent development strategies with unique elements of depth psychology, championing Carl Jung’s works and dream analysis to unlock unconscious potential. Menon’s methodology involves understanding the unconscious elements that drive behaviour and performance in the workplace. By incorporating Jungian concepts, he focuses on aspects such as archetypes, the collective unconscious, and individuation, which can help in identifying and nurturing the innate potential within each employee.

His professional journey includes successful tenures at powerhouse companies like Tata and John Deere. He’s added value to multiple learning forums in India, UAE, Malaysia, and Singapore with insightful presentations. With his diverse experience and proven leadership acumen, Menon stands as a poignant figure in the HR and development space.
