About
With over a decade of experience across People & Culture, Talent Acquisition, HR Operations, and Organizational Development, I bring a strategic, people-first perspective that makes me an effective advisor and board member. My leadership journey spans technology, software, and services sectors, giving me deep insight into how talent, culture, and innovation drive organizational growth.
As a proven People & Culture leader, I have partnered with executive teams to shape workforce strategies, strengthen employer brands, and build high-performing, inclusive environments. My hands-on expertise in technical hiring, performance management, DEI initiatives, and leadership development enables me to support companies navigating growth, transformation, or global expansion. I am known for stakeholder management, aligning HR strategy with business goals, and ensuring that people systems mature sustainably as organizations scale.
Beyond corporate HR, my role as the Country Director for Women in Tech Sri Lanka has strengthened my understanding of ecosystem development, public–private partnerships, gender equity, and community-focused impact programs. This adds a unique dimension to board-level decision-making—balancing business priorities with social responsibility, diversity, and future-ready workforce planning.
Companies that benefit most from my expertise include:
• Technology, software, and digital services organizations scaling their teams or expanding globally.
• Startups and scaleups needing guidance on culture-building, talent strategy, and structural maturity.
• FinTech, cybersecurity, cloud, and AI-driven companies where hybrid talent demands and capability development are critical.
• Organizations prioritizing DEI, women’s empowerment, and ethical workforce practices.
• Boards seeking stronger governance in people strategy, leadership succession, and organizational resilience.
With a blend of strategic HR leadership, industry insight, and community advocacy, I contribute to boards with clarity, empathy, and a strong commitment to responsible and inclusive growth.
