Shiran Liyanage's Linkedin Analytics

Currently engaging in consultancy and interim roles until I find a permanent home. #Product, #Marketing, #Sales, #Partnerships - they all work for me as I play in that space between the customer, commercial and tech (or conduct all 3 to energise a business) I help equity-backed tech business units and startups structure themselves to deliver exceptional growth and close big deals. I'm also a thought leader and pioneer, having brought 50 products to market, pioneered SAAS and eCommerce in the UK and developed the worlds first best-practice trustmarque in B2C delivery. Career span: Nationwide Systems, Reuters, Virgin, Seek, MetaPack, Reply and parcelLab. Consulting through Intuitus Endava, Luminii, AdvanceCommerce and In-Product. Sales oriented, customer centric, creative and analytical, I am also an inclusive and hands-on team leader and rely on my deep technical knowledge, relationship building and tenacious resourcefulness. I'm also seen as a great 'first man on the ground' for international businesses seeking presence in the UK and EMEA, as well as having an exceptional talent of 'joining the dots' between strategy, operation and customer need to provide creative and disruptive approaches to market. I absolutely love developing product and propositions, identifying new revenue streams and sales methodologies and generally turning ideas into the next best thing. I believe profitably and scalability happen when three elements intersect: > Customer Need – I work with both high growth or tier-1 b2b and b2c retailers, global brands and media businesses to help them discover and understand their needs, and articulate where and how tech disruption will impact them positively in terms of their commercial goal and technical landscape. >Technology – I’ve developed or shaped product and service innovations for SAAS eCommerce, retail logistics and delivery, medical systems, telecoms and publishing. I also form partnerships worldwide to strengthen propositions or formulate new ones. >Economics – Through analytics and commercial creativity, I’ve been successful in commoditising customer need and tech developments to productise early-stage tech concepts into scalable and lucrative solutions. I’m equally passionate about motivating and inspiring people to help them achieve their full potential. Furthermore, as an eCommerce industry representative and long-standing awards judge, I am dedicated to raising end-to-end best-practice standards across the eCommerce industry.
