MY STORY

I'm the son of Sri Lankan immigrants, and I grew up watching my parents climb a ladder and send the elevator back down for everyone behind them.

That kind of ambition shaped me. So did what it cost them.

Across two decades, from a manufacturing floor at Procter & Gamble to the CEO's chair of a national student-led movement, the same threads keep showing up. I'm drawn to the hard moments: turnarounds, acquisitions, organizations at a crossroads. I believe the people closest to a problem are usually closest to its solution, and the work is developing them into leaders who can run what they start. And I've learned that capital, partners, and talent follow a story people believe, which is why I've never kept the art separate from the strategy.

For years I led by the old rules: sacrifice now, recover later. Then I broke them, and watched what happened when people stopped choosing between doing their best and feeling their best. Harmonious Leadership is what came next.

HOW I WORK

People rarely come to me for the what. They come for the how.

Strategy, coaching, and facilitation are everywhere. What I bring is strategy that's grounded in the people closest to the work, stories that move people to act, and the arts as a way into rooms that logic alone can't open.

Some organizations bring me in for the music and stay for the strategy. Others start with strategy and discover the music.

BEYOND THE WORK

MANY STAGES. One song.

I perform as the hip-hop artist Ahmen, direct documentaries, host The Campfire podcast, and co-founded Dads for All, a civic movement mobilizing fathers as community leaders. I'm also a dad, which is the job that keeps me honest about all of it.
