BIZENIUS (UAE) and RiskTAE Ltd. (UK) has appointed Dr. Gishan Illangakoon, PhD as Senior Strategic Advisor.

Dr. Illangakoon brings over 32 years of senior banking and financial services experience across retail, MSME, corporate banking, risk management, and sustainable finance. He has held leadership roles at Hatton National Bank, Barclays Bank, United Arab Bank, and MCB Bank, and served as CEO of Pan Oceanic Bank.

He currently serves as a Board Director at a leading commercial bank and a listed finance company in Sri Lanka, chairing and contributing to Risk, Credit, and Governance Committees.

He holds a PhD in Management (MSU Malaysia), MBA (University of Wales), is a Member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (UK), holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Business and Financial Administration from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka, and is a Fellow of both the Institute of Bankers of Sri Lanka and the Chartered Professional Managers of Sri Lanka. 

Why this partnership exists: Smaller and mid-sized banks across Sri Lanka and beyond face the same Basel capital & liquidity challenges as the world's largest institutions the same regulatory expectations, the same accountability. They have simply rarely had access to the same quality of tools and expertise.

That gap is what BIZENIUS and RiskTAE are closing.

“Together we offer a complete ladder of solutions for Basel-regulated banks and financial institutions — from RiskTAE's RisKIT pre-built prudential models for fast, targeted needs, through to the BIZENIUS Accord enterprise platform for full, governed, bank-wide capital and liquidity management. Credible, regulator-aligned outputs across Basel I, II, 2.5, III and IV — covering ICAAP, ILAAP, and Recovery and Resolution Planning (RRP). We are delighted to welcome Dr. Illangakoon as a member of our strategic advisory team,” the firms said in a joint statement.
