Some of the success stories of employees from the state universities
include Aruna Gunathileke who was one of the first five employees to
join the organization, from the University of Peradeniya, who now holds
the position of Senior Quality Assurance Lead. He was also among the few
selected to join the ambassadorial programme the company gives its
employees where chosen staff members are trained in Sweden for a period
of two years.
Having joined Cambio in 2005 as a Quality Assurance Engineer
Gunatilake progressed from this position Senior Quality Assurance
Engineer within three years and later rose up to Senior Quality
Assurance Lead, the position he holds presently. He currently manages
the quality standards of the entire system of services offered at Cambio
and ensures in eliminating all the risks that can occur in the system.
"What helped me come this far was the empowerment given by the company,
that allowed us to make decisions, solve problems, be accountable for
the work we undertake, increase our involvement and by letting us be
innovative" Gunathileke said. He explained that this in fact enabled him
to be a leader who was self-directed across all levels of the business.
An added bonus was also the many leadership trainings and seminars he
attended.
Rasika Senevirathne who did her Computer Science Special degree at
the University of Colombo was another employee who endorsed Gunatilake's
statements by saying that she got the opportunity of being selected to
join Cambio as a Team Leader in 2011, as they had the intuition to
recognize her potential and gave her the opportunity to deal with, lead
and facilitate a large project team. "It has been good to note the
manner in which the company has helped me cultivate, enhance and
leverage my strengths that has in turn, lead me to contribute towards
the task of carrying out many successful projects for the organization."
Another high flyer who was selected from a state university was Nethru
Nanayakkara who currently works as an Architect. He commented that the
organization was a strong motivator and mentor in the steady career
progress he had from being initially a Team leader to his current
position, which entails him to improve existing features in the core
modules, work on new developments and improvements for clients that
include most of the leading hospitals in Europe.
He concluded by pointing out that "Successful companies take a
multi-pronged approach to nurture prospective leaders and also to
develop a high-quality workforce.
At Cambio, this is what we believe in and this is what we work on and
the contribution by State Universities to the Cambio pool of talent has
played a significant role in our success"
