Uditha Navod
Manjula worked with me at Huawei Sri Lanka as project director for Mobitel Network expansion projects during 2021 and he is one of the best partners I had during my carrier. His support to deliver the projects efficiently and timely , helped our account team to achieve difficult targets in difficult times [ covid pandemic etc.. ] . He is a true team player and we were able to find effective solutions at critical situations because of Manjula's collaboration with our sales team. I would say that any organization would be lucky to have Manjula as their project manager/director.

Manjula is one of best Project Manager I ever worked with during my time in Huawei. We were in same project team for few projects in Sri Lanka and Seychelles. The commitment with leadership and guide he given to the project team was surprises. His do communication very clearly between stockholders (project team and client) and understand technical & non-technical issues which can eloquent in clear business terms to involved parties and he takes complete responsibility and follows up from project Initiating to project closure is very much in macro and micro level. There are marked people who can be considered as complete package of leadership skill, good planner and responsible, Manjula is those talent and skills with him. I wish him successful tomorrow.
