I love to solve tough problems. I enjoy figuring out how to combine product and marketing to satisfy customer needs. I am a corporate entrepreneur and executive who spent the last 15 years launching and scaling technology products and marketing in the US, China, and Asia. As the CEO of Nations Info Corp, I am responsible for helping our company focus and drive toward results. Prior to NIC, I was General Manager at Ebates where I owned multiple P&L lines. I was Ebates' first hire in Asia in 2013 and have built a 100 person organization from scratch. I grew revenue 7x and added over 2 million members in the first 4 years. Along the way, Ebates was acquired by Rakuten. Before Ebates, I was LivingSocial’s Director of Marketing, Asia where I helped the company expand the business to five countries in Asia, increase the user base by 250% with innovative marketing approaches, and establish LivingSocial’s leadership position across Asia region. Before that, I was Vice President of Marketing at Groupon China, where I co-founded the subsidiary, expanded to more than 70 cities, grew website traffic to the 2nd place among group buying websites in China, and managed a team of more than 30 people and a monthly budget of 2 million USD. Before coming to Asia, I spent time in management consulting, investment banking, and product management which gives me my well rounded perspective running a business unit for a global company. Entrepreneur, general manager, marketer, product manager, consultant, investment banker. Passion for technology and making an impact in our world. Specialties: Business management, product management, marketing, sales, strategy, corporate finance, IT architecture

Hi LinkedIn, I’m looking forward to connecting with you! Here’s a bit about me and my background. 𝐁𝐎𝐑𝐍 & 𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐒𝐑𝐈 𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐀 🏝️ I was born and raised in a rural village in Sri Lanka with my parents and younger brother. My family was business owners, farmers, and miners/dealers of rare stones and gems. Thanks to my parents’ work, I was exposed to commerce at a young age and developed a strong interest in the mechanics of money. When I was 18, I won a scholarship to study in the United States, which was a dream come true. Despite the demands of a full-time job, I achieved my educational goals and specialized in finance. 𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐀𝐘𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 & 𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐊 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 🏦 After graduation, it was tough to find a new job but the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill kept me inspired. Through the teaching of this book, I understood the importance of the Definiteness of Purpose, Persistence, and Specialized knowledge. I began rethinking my career and got to work on a new plan. Being fascinated with how we do financial transactions, I got obsessed with Fintech and disruptive technologies like DLT and blockchain. At Processing.com, my role as Financial Controller wasn't just about crunching numbers. I spearheaded contract reforms post-Brexit with merchants and banks, slashing significant expenses within the EU zones. Later, as Payments Risk Manager at Nations Info, I lowered the company's risk profile and enhanced the billing engine's efficiency, elevating its success rate. 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 & 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐒 I’ve leveraged my versatility and risk management prowess to help launch several start-ups. As Controller at Iconic Hearts, I manage multiple business functions, including accounting, finance, HR, legal, operations and risk management. I established metrics to monitor financial performance that contributed to improving overall P&L impact at the individual product level, resulting in an increase in Revenue and Profitability. 𝐋𝐄𝐓'𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐎𝐍 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐍 My strong passion for learning led me to pursue two master's degrees in blockchain and web3. I was eager to expand my knowledge and acquire the expertise to teach others about this transformative field. I gained an understanding of startup formation and adopted a determined mindset to accomplish my goals. If you’re looking to chat with a passionate fintech and web3 leader who bridges the gaps between strategy, operations, and growth - we should definitely connect. Thanks for reading my story, Nandika
