FOUNDER & CHO 🚀 Global Business Growth Mentor 🌎 Giving VALUE with Professional Tech Support to help drive CLIENT SUCCESS 🚀 TECHNOLOGY LEADER 🚀 BUSINESS CONNECTOR 🚀 CHANGING LIVES one HEART at a time ❤️

I had less than $500 to my name when I emigrated from Sri Lanka to Australia over 25 years ago. Through sheer determination, perseverance and tenacity I worked my way through various organisations and roles to achieve my goal of creating my own business venture.

In 2006 I co-founded a company in Australia and over 10 years took it from zero to a multimillion-dollar and multinational organisation with over 100 employees which was then sold to a public listed company for an 8-figure number. 

Since, I have Co-Founded of BISTEC Global Services, Founded Biz Enable and Make a Day Brighter.

I now dedicate my time and energy leading the new companies and mentoring other businesses to achieve results such as removing pain points, creating awesome culture, maximising profit margins, creating and maintaining a wow customer experience.

As a natural problem solver, I am perfectly placed to enhance your business and deliver guaranteed results through proven principles and the blueprint used to successfully grow and sell my business. 

My Daily Mantras:
- Live every moment like it is your last 
- Minimum of 30mins learning of new things 
- Record or document my ideas and thoughts 
- Reflect or Meditate


My Motto: "Vero Possums" Latin word for "Yes we can" to me this means that everything is possible if you put your mind to it.

My loving family: My beautiful wife and 4 kids keep me inspired and motivated to do everything I do and do it best.

I love meeting new people here and learning about your story, your business and your Interests. I would love to help you resolve any problems or challenges with your resourcing, technology or your business. Please connect with me to request a free consultancy session or book a time here.

After two decades of an international corporate career in Oil & Gas, I hold a strong belief that profitability & investability are the most important considerations for every operational decision and activity. Creating a compelling financial narrative for potential investors is paramount, yet is often not prioritised until the twelfth hour.

"Knowledge is Empowerment"

I co-founded The Biz Lab suite of digital tools to make it super-easy to understand what investors are looking for in the numbers and what this means for your business - effectively helping founders strike a balance between selling the idea and credible projection.

The suite incorporates our proprietary Kwik Look tool - a simple yet powerful online cash flow evaluation tool which helps early-stage founders make informed decisions by understanding their potential cash flow, key value drivers, risks, mitigation strategies & potential value of equity when negotiating with investors
