I am presently employed as the Head of Marketing and Sales at Motor GP (Pvt) Ltd leveraging my expertise in Marketing & Sales to plan and assist in the implementation of initiatives to reach this organization's annual sales targets of Rs 150 million plus. Prior to joining Motor GP, I served as a Manager at Plan Sri Lanka in the complete cycle of Sponsorship generation and Project Management. This role saw me involved in securing funding through the formulation of proposals for local and international donors, which inherently required the compilation of analytical reports, design of country strategic plans and taking on the role of the company’s senior public representative to key external stakeholders. Once funding was secured, I served as a monitoring entity of the projects being implemented in order to report to the Sponsors on the progress and relevance of the particular project that they funded. Preceding my tenure with Plan Sri Lanka, I served as the Head of Partnerships and Business Development at the British Council in Colombo. My role here saw me interact with Corporate Partners towards successfully integrating the British Councils Educational and Cultural offerings into said organizations’, Corporate Social Responsibility Programs. My ability and expertise to rebrand and turn around a dying business model in a short period of time were also tested while re-launching the library operation in my tenure here. Both these roles gave me the opportunity to improve the robustness of my capacities in designing, planning and implementing community-based projects around Sri Lanka and also served to hone my ability to successfully interact and manage relationships with international sponsors, corporate stakeholders, relevant government ministries, village level officials, and the rural community itself. Furthermore, the management of projects from design to delivery has also served to enhance my capacity in leadership and team management. The development of action plans with my team's input and buy-in has ensured that I have been able to successfully and consistently deliver on timelines and the constant. Given the particular mix of my post-graduate and professional education and the 10 years of management experience I have enumerated above, I am confident that I am able to contribute positively to your organization's specific endeavors.
