27 years of garment technology & quality leadership — PDF, ~1 page.
I was born and raised in Kurunegala, in Sri Lanka's North Western Province — in a home where discipline, kindness and quiet ambition were taught long before they were named. My earliest memories are of family working tirelessly, and of learning, even as a child, that nothing meaningful comes without effort.
Before apparel found me, I trained at the Technical Engineering College in Sri Lanka — a Diploma in Computer Programming that taught me to think in systems, sequences and small precise steps. Lessons that quietly shaped how I'd later run factory floors.
I joined MSA Mode in Kurunegala as a Senior Quality Assurance Auditor. Nearly seven years of long days, unfamiliar floors, and lessons that did not always come gently. Every difficulty quietly became a foundation — every small win, a reason to keep going.
Seven years at EAM Maliban Textiles in Sri Lanka as Manager of Quality Assurance. The craft began to feel like a calling. I discovered that I loved the rhythm of factories, the language of standards, and the human side of leadership.
From Senior Manager in Chittagong to Brand Tech Manager for American Eagle, to Assistant General Manager and now Deputy General Manager of Garment Technology and Quality. Fifteen years of building teams, lifting standards and earning the trust of global brands — across two homes, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Today I lead, travel, teach — and most importantly, return home. With an MBA from the University of Gloucestershire, a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and Leaders Excellence at Harvard Square behind me, I measure success not in titles, but in the people I have helped grow and the family that calls me theirs.
