Bio
Saman Battage MBA
When I started to work in Tradesmann I had two initiatives, those were to develop products and market them without any financial burden to the company (to work with minimum risk and utilize company financial and other facilities at bear minimum levels to achieve maximum turnover) while developing local manufactures. Among the team I manage, Uvindu was one of the best and achieved unbelievable results on these directions. He had well trained ability to identify market need and source best possible solutions whether it is local sourcing or imports. I trust and no hesitation to recommend this humble and dedicated guy to any company assuring that he will be an asset to were ever he works.
