About

Strategy that
moves businesses.

I'm a Business & Growth Analyst and Digital Transformation Consultant focused on helping small businesses identify growth opportunities, improve customer experiences, and implement digital solutions that create measurable impact.

With a Master's in Digital Marketing and Business Transformation, I bring both academic rigour and practical business understanding to every engagement — combining entrepreneurial experience, operations management, and strategic analysis to solve real business problems.

I believe sustainable growth comes from understanding customers deeply, simplifying processes, and making decisions based on evidence rather than assumptions. I work with SMEs across Italy and Sri Lanka, with a long-term vision of international remote consulting.

AI for Small Businesses: What's Actually Worth Implementing Right Now

AI adoption doesn't require a tech team or a large budget. For SMEs, the highest-ROI applications are narrow and operational: automated lead follow-up, AI-assisted content drafting, WhatsApp chatbots for enquiry handling, and AI-powered review responses.
