Gathering top digital leaders and C-suite executives in Sri Lanka, CXO Circle, the private C-suite networking forum, recently hosted an exclusive dinner to discuss future-focused strategies and forge high-impact collaborations driving the country’s digital transformation.

The ‘Digital Leaders Dinner’ was held on 30 May at Courtyard by Marriott and was presented as a Johnnie Walker Gold Label Experience, bringing together a curated group of digital leaders, including CEOs, CIOs, CFOs, and transformation executives, from across Sri Lanka’s corporate landscape. The dinner, themed ‘Where Digital Strategy Meets Boardroom Influence’, provided a platform for intimate, closed-door discussions on how digital leadership can be a key driver of profitability and transformation.

The event was chaired by UK-based Global Digital Strategist and International Speaker Suresh Daniel, who set the tone for a high-impact evening focused on actionable insights and meaningful dialogue. The evening flow included a fireside chat with regional technology leaders, followed by another thought-provoking panel on the future of digital leadership.

Panellists included Maliban Biscuits CEO Ravi Jayawardena, Capital Maharaja Group CFO Lalith Fernando, and Sierra Cables CEO Harsha Jayatunga for the first discussion, while the second panel featured Stretchline Holdings CDIO Shanaka Rabel and CBL CIO Keshan Dayaratne. The other speakers for the evening included Samishti Tech India Founding Director Saurabh Mukim and SAP Director Southeast Asia Deepak Srivastawa.

Paired with elevated dining, curated drinks, and a guest list reflective of Sri Lanka’s forward-thinking leadership, the dinner was designed to underscore the value of refined networking in a high-trust environment.

Inextricable Group, a UK-headquartered boutique IT consultancy, served as a co-hosting partner for the event, alongside SAP (Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing) from Germany and India’s Samishti Technologies. Known for delivering complex ERP and data transformation projects across global Tier 1 enterprises, Inextricable Group is playing an increasingly vital role in shaping the digital ecosystem of Sri Lanka.

“Our presence in Sri Lanka is not limited to just offering IT services, we are building capability, transferring knowledge, and helping Sri Lankan businesses compete globally. What sets us apart is that we don’t work in silos. SAP, Samishti, and Inextricable bring a shared mindset to drive measurable impact for clients, fast,” said Inextricable Group Country Director for Sri Lanka Suranjith Swaris.

The evening highlighted the growing need for cross-industry collaboration, strategic clarity, and leadership alignment as organisations across sectors navigate rapid technological change. By facilitating these conversations as Sri Lanka intensifies its focus on digital acceleration, the Digital Leaders Dinner served as a timely platform for high-level dialogue among the country’s top business and technology executives.
