Testimonials
Bradley Emerson MBA, FIB
Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer at IIHE (Imperial Institute of Higher Education)
Ranjeewa is probably one of the most exposed HR professional in Sri Lanka. His involvement locally and
internationally in HR results in the knowledge transfer to Sri Lanka. Very humble individual alway open to
help anyone
Murali Prakash
Proven Transformational Corporate Leader and Strategist. Change Manager I Writer I Lifestyle Coach
Ranjeewa is not just a consultant or trainer of sorts but a partner in business collaboration. That’s how
we saw him during our engagement with him during our restructuring process of the Ambeon group of
companies. He navigates through the people and processes with ease to carve new paths to transform
business domains. We benefitted a lot through his years of experience as a HR specialist to unearth
issues, articulate strategies in HR transformation and more importantly continuous mapping on aligning
people for tomorrow. A great personality who goes beyond the call on the scope to help when the need
arises. Enjoyed working with him. Great person to engage in turnaround situations. Wish him well.
Suren Goonewardene
Managing Director at LANKEM CEYLON PLC
Ranjeewa Helped me to transform a set of young and dynamic Managers at Lanka Bell way back in 2004. He ran
Leadership, Motivational and Team building exercises for the team. These programs cut across the entire
organization which helped these managers to become industry leaders who later on went on to do bigger
things in their careers. The programs conducted were relevant and specific to the tasks set by the
Management.
Ajit Dias-Wanigasekera
Client Liason Officer at Commonwealth Bank of Australia
I was fortunate enough to work with Ranjeeva at Allied Stock brokers and saw first hand his dedication and
commitment that he put into training and mentoring new recruits. He was also passionate in conducting
informative sessions for students to get an understanding into the role of the CSE and stock brokers.
The level of maturity he conducted these sessions were truly amazing.
I have no hesitation in endorsing his work.
Herman Pereira
AVP at Barclays Bank
I have had the pleasure of working with Ranjeewa at Lion Brewery Ceylon Limited and at Srilankan Airlines,
whilst he held various roles as a Professional HR Leader and myself in the various roles I held at those
organisations. During these interactions I have found Ranjeewa to be creative in a business function that
is not seen to be so. Ranjeewa also had a natural ability to clearly identify the strategic impact his
role played in delivering business critical goals long before this aspect of HRM became popular text. I
continue to count Ranjeewa as an invaluable sounding board for any HR or Management discussion. I wish him
all success in his many business and personal endeavours.
Dilshad Sadiq
Vice President at Authenticities Sri Lanka
Ranjewa certainly has a panoply of management expertise and experiences. I was fortunate to work with him
at Mercantile Stockbrokers (and during Allied Stockbrokers), from 1991 until 1993 and he displayed a
remarkable leadership and team management qualities in an era the concept of HR was less known in Sri
Lanka. He was also one of the three elected Stockbrokers to the advisory committee of the CSE (Colombo
Stock Exchange) and built a formidable team to compete with the rest of the brokering firms.
He combines strategy and people with the future direction of an organisation and builds effective teams
through people management.

Ranjeewa Joined Mercantile Stock Brokers during a time when it had a active customer base of less than 100
customers. Ranjeewa was able to craft a education based marketing tactic that successfully penetrated to
the mass market using the contact details of the parents of the students who benefited from the island
wide seminars. This helped boost the client based and in 4 years Allied Stock brokers as we were know was
the largest retail stock broker with the largest branch network linked with on-time transaction date the
very first seen in the country way back in 1993. He was very cleaver to read, analyse and predict market
sentiments and commanded high integrity and respect among the clients and business partners. Ranjeewa was
the most popular and knowledgeable in trading rules and was elected as one of the three member
representatives from the broker community to the Advisory board of the Colombo Stock Exchange.
