Niluka gave an excellent, thought-provoking and insightful presentation at the CBCC 2024 Conference, exploring the future of work and the rise of digital nomadism. She covered a variety of relevant topics, including how individuals can pursue self-employment and embrace the freedom to work from anywhere. As a speaker, she was highly engaging, holding the audience’s attention with her informative yet relatable style. I was impressed by the depth of her insights and knowledge, which were grounded in both her personal experiences and current industry trends. I’m confident the audience found her equally compelling, and I look forward to hearing her speak again.

It's rare in your professional life to come across an individual like Niluka. And over the past few years I have watched her grow from strength to strength. Niluka is brave, passionate, entrepreneurial, strategic and creative along with being an exceptional communicator. She is also very humble, down to earth and kind which are qualities I value and admire hugely. The results that Niluka achieves for her clients is matched in spades by the way she delivers them and her ability to build highly personalised relationships that she continues to nurture. Anyone who has the pleasure of working alongside Niluka is incredibly lucky!

I worked with Niluka while she was the CMO of the tech start-up tbc. I was a marketing assistant and worked very closely with her. As a leader, Niluka is super smart and has a natural creative flair. Her experience in marketing, brand and customer really shone through - I learnt a lot while working with her and can see she is also very commercial too in how she approaches business. Niluka is an excellent communicator and demonstrates real empathy as a leader, even when working to tight deadlines and having to make difficult decisions. She was able to coach and guide me in the role, making clear what needed to be done and when. Most importantly, I always felt I could speak up and share my own ideas with her and I really enjoyed her action-orientated and collaborative style. I have really valued working with Niluka and if you have the chance to work with her, I would hugely recommend it!

Niluka truly excels in both her analytical and creative thinking. She applies both simultaneously to solve client challenges with a refreshing ease and elegance that few possess. Always articulate and compelling, Niluka is a great storyteller, able to land her ideas persuasively, and as such is an excellent manager also of others. Importantly, she is also a super nice person with a great deal of integrity - if you have the chance to work with her, grab it with both hands.

Niluka delivered an insightful, well researched and thought-provoking online session for University of Edinburgh MSc Marketing students on how the pandemic has impacted consumer sentiment and what that means for brand purpose. She also spoke about the importance of the self as brand and offered some invaluable insights for students to consider when navigating their careers. I found Niluka's presentation style informative, engaging and creative and was impressed by the level of detail and authenticity that she shared about her career journey - I'm confident our students were equally impressed.

I worked with Niluka at KPMG when she co-founded the Future Thinkers initiative. Future Thinkers is a programme of digital-focussed events with the aim of inspiring and informing KPMG colleagues. I supported / sponsored Niluka and her two co-founders to get the programme up and running. Niluka was always very high energy, proactive and professional, and a great ambassador for KPMG. She compered a number of events and hosted panels, asking challenging and pertinent questions to the guests. Together with her co-founders she ran some superb events, with the likes of AliPay, the BBC, HSBC, Moneybox, and Nutmeg. She's great fun to work with, super bright, and an original thinker. A real asset.

I had the pleasure of working with Niluka during the 2015 annual Somerville Telethon. My role is to oversea this activity, the largest fundraising activity in the Development Office's calendar. Niluka worked as a student caller and was essential to raising funds for bursaries, access and the tutorial system. She was extremely conscientious and thoroughly personable, striking up meaningful conversations with Somervillians from all backgrounds. She acted as an ambassador for the College and through active listening and excellent communications skills, she was able to secure donations (at all levels) from alumni. The 2015 Telethon raised north of £300k in two weeks, which was an exceptional result, and simply would not have been possible without the hard work of the Telethon callers, such as Niluka. The role of the Caller is not easy, and at times requires diplomacy and tact, which I am pleased to say Niluka possessed. Niluka was a true champion of the alumni relations activity at College, so much so that she is now a 'Year Rep' for her academic year, which sees her encouraging members of her class to attend events and send in news and updates for alumni communications. It is great to see her excelling in her current field and we wish her all the best for the future!
