Ideal Group (Pvt) Ltd General Manager of Group Marketing & Communications Iroshini Wijenayaka was recently nominated as a Sri Lankan Patron of the World Women Leadership Congress (WWLC). Based in Mumbai, WWLC honours the strategic and influential role of women leaders and annually organizes the ‘Women Leadership Awards’ to celebrate the outstanding leadership and achievements demonstrated by women leaders in the region.
“This is a great opportunity to empower and be empowered. I firmly believe in empowering and uplifting each other, paving the way to follow their dreams. My long-term vision for women in business is to genuinely support each other and continuously work towards gender equality and women empowerment,” she said.
Women in uncommon job roles or male-dominated sectors are a topic of conversation in the current business context. As a woman who currently represents such a sector, Iroshini shared her experience at the workplace. “It is indeed challenging, but thanks to the forward-thinking work culture of the Ideal Group which stems from the Chairman himself, it continues to provide equal opportunities to all.”
Adding to her list of international recognition, Iroshini was awarded the ‘Woman of Worth’ award in 2021, by WWLC. She is also the recipient of the award ‘Most Influential Global Marketing Leaders’ in 2019, a recognition award presented by the World Marketing Congress (WMC).
