Softlogic Finance PLC has welcomed Viresh Nanayakkara to its Board as an Independent, Non-Executive Director, adding a seasoned legal professional to its leadership. Nanayakkara’s background in criminal law, enhanced by a certificate in Shipping Law and Practice, and his experience from the Attorney General’s Department and international ventures like the Fellowship Program on Forensic Science for Prosecutors in South Korea, bring a wealth of expertise to the board.
Having graduated as an Attorney at Law in 2014 and later obtaining a Master of Laws (LLM) degree from the University of Colombo, Nanayakkara’s journey reflects a commitment to continuous learning and specialisation. His seven-year tenure at the Attorney General’s Department, conducting prosecutions across Sri Lanka’s High Courts, contributed significantly to his understanding of criminal law and forensic science.
In addition to Nanayakkara’s appointment, Softlogic Finance announced the retirement of Dinesh P. Renganathan as Chairman and appointed H. S. S. Dabre as Acting Chairman. The Board of Directors now comprises Acting Chairman H. S. S. Dabare, R. J. Perera, H. K. Kaimal, C. Kalupahana, and V. B. Nanayakkara, marking a strategic shift in leadership for the company. Nanayakkara’s addition brings a fresh perspective and a deep understanding of legal intricacies to guide Softlogic Finance in its future endeavors.
