He has held pivotal positions with internationally renowned operators such as the Singtel Group, SLT Mobitel Group, Axiata Group, and Maxis Group, carrying multi-billion-dollar P&L responsibility and playing a central role in reshaping the telephony landscape across five regional markets. His leadership has consistently driven innovation-led transformations from traditional Telco models to TechCo operating paradigms, delivering sustainable profitability and long-term strategic growth. Mr. Amarasekera’s strong cultural adaptability is underpinned by extensive multi-year assignments across Singapore, Sri Lanka, Nepal, India, and Malaysia.
