KBSL Information Technologies, one of Sri Lanka's longest-standing systems integrators and a member of the Agility Innovation Group, has appointed Pramukh Jayawardena as its new Chief Sales Officer (CSO). 

This move reflects the company's strategy to strengthen its leadership for a new phase of growth focused on technology excellence and customer value. "Pramukh brings the proven record and versatile depth we need to lead our sales organisation," said KBSL COO and Acting CEO Aruna Dissanayake. "His ability to build high-performing teams and transform enterprise sales into consultative partnerships is essential. His expertise will be key in guiding our clients to make the best use of the strong application ecosystem we bring to the table on top of the next-generation green, intelligent, and cost-effective and secure infrastructure solutions to accelerate their innovation and deliver greater value."

Jayawardena brings over 16 years of experience from the region’s top technology firms, with a record of building high-performing sales teams and driving business growth through innovation. His previous leadership roles include Millennium IT ESP, WSO2, Dialog Enterprise, H One, and Metropolitan Computers, covering enterprise technology and large-scale B2B transformation. Notably, he led sales for the SAARC region at WSO2, building partnerships and accelerating market growth. His background is noted for its versatility and depth, ranging from frontline sales to executing large-scale revenue strategies. He earned multiple awards recognising his performance and leadership impact. His journey reflects both depth and versatility, underscoring his ability to translate complex business challenges into achievable, customer-focused outcomes.

Jayawardena joins KBSL at a crucial time, as the company expands its focus on enterprise technology, cloud platforms, and digital transformation. His vision centers on translating business goals into tangible value for customers. In the short term, he plans to sharpen the sales function by optimising processes and focusing on measurable, data-driven decisions. His longer-term strategy emphasises sustainable, scalable growth that balances technology with human insight.

His strategic roadmap for KBSL emphasises five pillars of transformation: building a customer-centric culture, developing a strong partner ecosystem, investing in digital sales enablement, nurturing talent and leadership, and driving data-informed decision-making across the organisation.

"Sales is no longer about closing deals, it’s about solving problems," Jayawardena explained. “Enterprises are looking for partners who understand their challenges and can connect innovation to measurable business results. That's where KBSL can make the difference by combining our technical depth with a customer-first approach. We don't just build relationships, we forge partnerships that empower our clients to achieve their most ambitious goals. Our vision is to be the trusted advisors and problem-solvers that our clients turn to first, every time,” he said. 

He believes enterprise technology sales must transform from a transactional process into a consultative partnership, where technology becomes a driver of customer outcomes. He added that technologies like AI, automation, cloud-native platforms, and advanced analytics will define the next phase of enterprise growth, and KBSL is positioned to help organisations harness these capabilities for transformation and resilience.  Jayawardena is a Chartered Marketer (ACMA, CIM UK) and holds an MBA from Cardiff Metropolitan University (UK). His leadership philosophy, which centers on collaboration, curiosity, and accountability, complements his pragmatic, people-oriented style. These values align with KBSL’s mission to empower teams and customers alike to succeed in the digital age.
