I grew up in Sri Lanka. I served in the Singapore Armed Forces. I’ve built a career across four countries — the Middle East, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Australia — starting from the bottom and working my way up through every layer of technology and risk leadership.

The military taught me things no job ever could. How to be independent. How to stay disciplined when the conditions are hard. How to deal with the noise in your own head and keep moving anyway. Those lessons didn’t stay in uniform — they shaped every team I’ve led and every hard decision I’ve made since.

Over two decades, I’ve led enterprise-scale programmes in cybersecurity, digital transformation, GRC, and ERP — across complex, multi-national organisations where the stakes were real and the margin for comfortable thinking was small.

This blog exists because I read widely and lead actively, and I find that the two don’t always talk to each other. A book on antifragility means something different when you’ve actually watched a team collapse under pressure — or grow stronger because of it. I write to bridge that gap. To contextualise ideas against real experience. To organise my own thinking — and share it with people who are doing the same kind of work, in the same kind of environments, with the same kind of accountability.

I write for leaders who are tired of abstraction. Who’ve sat in the room where the difficult call gets made. Who want thinking that’s been stress-tested, not just theorised.

If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
