ABOUT MAHEEN MUDANNAYAKE
What I really enjoy is working with diverse groups of people to bring innovative ideas to life. As a dynamic Commercial Business Leader, I have successfully expanded technology businesses by developing strategic initiatives and marketing campaigns to capture new emerging opportunities and increase market share. Skilled at building deep relationships at senior levels, then operating as both a business thought leader and a trusted advisor, I am able to drive client focused business transformation. Experience with leading and helping develop teams who go on to deliver significant business impact, experience with C level clients in a variety of fields including Telecommunications, Power/Energy, CPG/Manufacturing, Utility operators, as well as Food and Beverage. I have a proven track record of growing our business in complex environments by leading our Strategic Business Initiatives and Marketing planning. Developing Strategic Initiatives requires understanding local and global forces, defining purpose, then developing a plan on where and how to execute. Innovation is at the heart of any Strategic Initiative as this leads to differentiation which opens new markets and channels. Our strategic initiatives deliver novel solutions to clients that provide value and benefits, allowing us to capture emerging business opportunities.Often clients can be hesitant to start their business transformation due to uncertainty and resistance. Trust is critical to ensure clients feel safe and supported during times of change. My ability to build strong and enduring relationships is critical to developing high levels of trust. Then by acting as a thought leader I provide clear insights to help our clients develop their business transformation plans. There are many moving parts that need to be taken into consideration before deciding on a strategic roadmap for transformation, I bring an ability to analyse, plan, act and deliver. Developing high performing teams who trust and support each other is something I have focused on and enjoy doing. When acting with integrity, honesty and accountability, team members feel safe and empowered to contribute and drive their part of the business. Open communication helps the team to understand clearly what we are focusing on. This all leads to a strong supportive team culture that lifts performance, delivers results, leading to sustainable growth. By listening with intent and building trust you can inspire those around you to be impactful, while creating lasting relationships and achieving exceptional results.
