Could you give us an introduction of yourself?

I am Namalie Herath, Managing Partner of GroupM Sri Lanka, and former CEO of Wavemaker Sri Lanka. I pride myself in being a woman, a wife, a mother of three, and a homemaker to have reached the heights I have so far. I am a past pupil of St Bridget’s Convent and Bishop’s College, and an alumnus of the University of Colombo. I enjoy reading and travelling at my leisure, while I do enjoy watching movies and documentaries, even though, to be honest, I haven’t had much time lately.
