Managing Director Story

My Name is Dona Imesha Muthukuda from Colombo Sri Lanka. If I Simply talk about my self I have first worked as a teacher from Primary to Secondary Level, then as a lecturer to University Students and finally became an Academic head then a director up to Managing Director Level. I am an individual who was always interested in the educational sector. And I always wanted to build my career pathway in working in the educational service providers then finally to become a leader. As an individual what I believe and my firm opinion is we must always start our career pathway from step 1 than coming at once to the highest step, Why I say that is because if we as leaders have not started our career journey from first step, we do not know what weaknesses we have in the professional life, what challenges we have to face, how to deal with pressure in work etc.

So as a Leader now in the educational sector I know what I faced in my past experiences how I dealt with them where as now when those challenges come to me, I just overcome them so easily. Being a leader of a company in Service sector handling a huge staff which belongs different divisions is not an easy task but I now strongly do my role because of my past experiences.

If I talk about my family, I come from a middle-class family where my mother and Father always supported me in every step I took in my life. My Father as the founder of Ceylon Campus built its name to a international level and handed over the directorship after only I learnt my first steps in my career pathways because he knew I am ready to manage his company then. We are a small family consist of My Mother, Father.

Sister, brother and I. So Truly I must mention this If I am in this level today s very strong women it’s because of my mentor it’s my father and my strength my mother and my supporter’s brother and sister. Also, I must mention one special person of my life who supported me through out my journey he is my husband, in my professional career pathway if I was goanna loose anywhere, they motivated me up and said you can do this. I thank so much here.

I studied at Sussex College – Sri Lanka which is an English medium school, and then After my high school I completed my Higher Educational and Professional Qualifications up to the highest level. Also I have won many awards BEST HEAD MISTRESS 2014 / BEST LECTURER OF THE YEAR 2015/ BEST EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR 2018/ BEST LEARDERSHIP APPRECIATION AWARD 2023-at CEYLON CAMPUS GRADUATION CEREMONY 2023 for my hard work.

Life was never a smooth journey for me I first stepped in to my career pathway as a Teacher to Teach Primary students, Then I became sectional head of the primary section, then a secondary teacher and secondary school sectional head. After that I worked as a lecturer in universities and in Ceylon Campus as well, after that firstly I joined Ceylon Campus as a Director of all programs and Head of Academic Department. With so much experience I became the Managing Director of Ceylon Campus Sri Lanka.

Finally, I must say I am A HIGHLY MOTIVATED AND ENTHUSIASTIC INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS ALMOST 11 YEARS OF WORKING EXPERIENCE AS OF NOW IN EDUCATIONAL SERVICE SECTOR AND HAVE A STRONG LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS; EFFECTIVE TEAM BUILDER; PROVEN CAPABILITY IN STRATEGIC WORK; SUCCESSFUL DELIVERER OF PROFIATBLE GROWTH IN THE COMPANY.I ALSO WORK HARD FOR LONG TERM SUCCESS OF MY COMPANY ALONG WITH A STRONG COMMUNICATION WITH MY TEAM NOW.
