What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior HR leadership opportunities, including Head of HR, HR Director, and HR Business Partner mandates, where I can contribute to people strategy, organisational effectiveness, and workforce governance.

At Hoist Support SL Pvt Ltd, I direct Sri Lanka’s people strategy and advise senior leadership on workforce planning, organisational effectiveness, and change. I also oversee the end-to-end talent agenda and compensation and benefits governance.

At Asset Group of Companies, I developed strategic HR initiatives across multiple group companies and directed talent acquisition. I also implemented an HRIS system to streamline HR processes and reporting.

My HR business partnering experience includes roles at Surbana Jurong Lanka (Pvt) Ltd and other organisations. I hold a Master’s degree in Human Resource Management from the University of Kelaniya and a Chartered HR qualification from CIPM, Sri Lanka, and have published peer-reviewed research on occupational health and safety in the construction industry.
