About Don Rashitha Jayasekara
I am a visionary leader who transforms complex organisations to be more competitive and sustainable through technology. I lead global technology teams to bring business strategies, operational requirements, and innovative technologies together to create real business value and transformation. As Director of Digital & Technology for one of the leading companies in the world, I collaborate with functional leaders (Operations, Engineering, Quality, IT etc.), leading technology vendors and other global organisations (Regulators, Research Institutes, Universities etc.) to transform the industry with digital technologies (Industry 4.0 | Smart Manufacturing). I am a recognised ambassador for digital transformation within the industry. I speak at events and give guest lectures to inspire today's and tomorrow's digital disruptors. I contribute to digital platforms like LinkedIn to stay connected to live debates and learn continuously. Through engaging people, developing skills, simplifying processes, and choosing the right technology strategy, I am empowering everyone within the organisation to be a digital pioneer. To scale digital transformation, levelling the playing field and making technology accessible to everyone matters. Creating a better world with sustainability and opportunities for everyone is important to me. I am a passionate supporter of charities supporting children and a sponsor of STEM activities to get more children involved in engineering. I live by the famous Churchillian quote, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts". #Leadership #Strategy #Innovation #DigitalTransformation #Industry40 #NetZero
