Sri Lanka Badminton 

I first represented Sri Lanka when I was 12  years old. At the age of 19, I became the national number 1. I was able to travel the world and represent my country. I loved every minute of it. 

Starting out it was hard, financially as well as mentally.  But through hard work, sheer determination and self-belief I overcame every obstacle. I'm blessed to be able to play an individual sport at the highest level, and that experience still shapes me and reassures me that there is nothing you cannot achieve if you beleive!

Professional Athlete

Crypto Executive Search Recruiter | Ex -Pro Athlete | CEO

Separating the good from the great!

I have been scaling Crypto/Blockchain/ Web3 companies since 2019, hiring C-suit to Engineers.

Most roles ranges from $100,000 - $400,00K per year.

Here are some case studies of how I did exemplary work for exemplary people and companies: 

1. I am the exclusive and retained Blockchain recruiter for the PSG football club, one of the world's top 5 best football clubs owned by the government of Qatar. I successfully recruited their first Head of Blockchain to facilitate the club's transition into the Web3 space and help them earn millions of additional revenue streams.

2. I recruited the entire company (C suit, engineers, and ops) for the former chairman of Macquarie Bank Group, who now runs a 12 billion-dollar hedge fund. 

3. I helped another market leader, Chiliz and Socios, hire a Director of Operations for their newly set crypto team and several other roles.

How do I achieve these results?

I use a metric-driven, scientifically designed qualification process that hiring managers and candidates undergo. Thus, I have a 100% success rate over 500 positions filled and a 98% retention rate.
