Ruwindhu Peiris

Global citizen, local roots. Born in Canada, raised in Sri Lanka, studied and worked in North America.

I've built across cultures, not just geographies, and have spent much of my career connecting talent and opportunity between developed and emerging markets. My path has moved between building businesses, leading national industry associations, investing, advising leaders, and helping PE-backed companies accelerate value creation. At Virtusa, I helped scale operations from North America to Sri Lanka and India through its NASDAQ journey, an experience that taught me to see a delivery organization as a business to scale, never simply a cost centre. For the past 16 years at Stax I've helped build offshore capacity into a genuine global capability model that delivers an industry leading value arbitrage. Today I'm focused on extending that model across the Transactions team at Grant Thornton, building it into a critical engine of a differentiated, breakaway platform.
