What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to bring my financial operations, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance experience to an international or multilateral organization.

I've led finance, administration, governance, and corporate operations for Resourceful Lanka, a circular-manufacturing startup turning textile waste into traceable industrial supply. I manage accounting, budgeting, cash flow, payroll, statutory compliance, and stakeholder relationships with regulators, banks, and partners.

At MAS Holdings, I led accounts payable service payments across group business units and supported finance transformation through process improvements, SAP system development, reconciliations, controls, and audit support. I also coordinated divisional strategic planning at KREEDA, preparing KPI and performance reporting for the CEO and Board.

My earlier work at WNS Global Services combined company secretarial practice, legal documentation, invoicing, anti-money-laundering compliance, and team leadership for clients across Asia-Pacific and Cyprus. I bring an MBA in Finance with Distinction and a Diploma in Compliance to international or multilateral organizations.
