Martin Manley (born August 27, 1952) is an American entrepreneur and political leader who serves as the Executive Director of Hult International School of Business in San Francisco. Manley was named US Assistant Secretary of Labor by Bill Clinton and founded the major online bookseller Alibris with Richard Weatherford.
Manley was born in Azusa, California, the son of Jack Manley and Georgia Rodecker. He graduated from Lowell High School in Whittier, California and UCSC, with honors degrees in Politics and Community Education. In 1987, he received his Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School.
During the 1970s and early 1980s, Manley became a prominent California labor organizer. He held positions with the Hotel & Restaurant Workers in Monterey, California (now UNITE), Hospital Workers Local 250 of the Service Employees (SEIU), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM). He was among the earliest union organizers in Silicon Valley, directed a large community-based campaign in Silicon Valley during the 1984 US Presidential election, and was a frequent and prominent critic of AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland.
In 1993, the newly elected Bill Clinton nominated Manley as US Assistant Secretary of Labor. Following his Senate confirmation, Manley served under Secretary of Labor Robert Reich as head of a new federal agency, which became the US Department of Labor's Office of the American Workplace (OAW). The OAW was charged with promoting innovation in US workplaces.
