I'm Sumith Jayawickrama
Nearly 40 years of business experience.
I've spent my career running operations and putting improvements into practice across Sri Lanka, Europe, India, and the Middle East. That hands-on experience shapes how I work with you today.
Business consultant, ERP specialist & AI practitioner
A practical perspective
An operator’s approach to consulting.
Working inside businesses has taught me that a good idea needs people, clear ownership, and consistent follow-through to deliver results. Implementation is part of the work I take on.
My background spans manufacturing, tea, FMCG, and food production. I bring experience in operational leadership, ERP rollouts, quality systems, and continuous improvement.
Today, I work alongside owners, CEOs, and their teams to implement improvements in operations, ERP, and AI. We agree what success looks like, carry out the changes, and measure their impact on the business.

Experience meets new possibilities
Operations. ERP. AI.
One business perspective.
For me, ERP and AI begin with the same practical question: how can the right person get the right information and put it to use?
My Unified Decision Engine approach brings together business information, team knowledge, and appropriate AI support to help managers make better-informed decisions.
