With over 25 years of academic and corporate experience, I have established myself as a dedicated senior lecturer, researcher, and executive leader. Educated at prestigious institutions including universities in Colombo, Peradeniya, Osaka, Toronto, and the UK, my expertise spans multiple disciplines, from business administration to theology and physics.

Currently serving as the Vice Chancellor at the Institute of Knowledge Academia in Colombo, Sri Lanka, I also hold the position of Associate Dean at BMS – Business Management School. Previously, I was the Deputy Vice Chancellor of IDM Campus and have held executive roles such as CEO and Chief Academic Officer at IDM Campus, Group CEO & Senior Director at Adam Investments PLC, and Country Head of Xerox Sri Lanka.

My academic contributions include lecturing for undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs at institutions such as the University of Gloucestershire and Lincoln University College. I have mentored post-graduate students, supervised dissertations, and pioneered innovative teaching methodologies.

An accomplished researcher and speaker, I have presented at conferences worldwide, including CEO and CIO forums in Asia and SAARC nations. Recognized for my contributions, I have received awards from esteemed leaders, including the King of Bhutan and the King of Japan. My future research aims to incorporate an Asian perspective into business and technological advancements.
