[A right-hand woman to founders, visionaries and creatives]

The way I build and relate to founders and their teams, is deeply rooted in the culture that made me. Born and raised in Melbourne within a Sri Lankan family, I learnt the values of community, resilience and the quiet power of spirit.

An early love of science taught me rigor: to treat what I know as a hypothesis, never an absolute. Training as a chef taught me quality through my hands, the intelligence of craftmanship, the orchestration behind an experience, and the unforgettable rhythm of a team moving as one.

A decade alongside purpose-led founders, creative producers and executives taught me how to build systems from ground zero. I’m at home in the early, ambiguous stages of a vision, when there’s something worth building and no clear path yet.

My work is grounded in a simple conviction: if we have the power to destroy, we also have the power to regenerate. Business can help us imagine new ways to live, work and create together. What we build carries the spirit of how we move forward. The capacity to change culture begins within: in ourselves, our teams and the brands we bring into the world.
