Since moving on from Stax, what new directions has your career taken?
After leaving Stax, I have assumed the role of President of CFA Society Sri Lanka, the local chapter which is part of the CFA Institute. In this role, I help lead our society's advocacy and outreach efforts, which include promoting global best practices as well as initiatives aimed at raising the standard of research, reporting and ethics within Sri Lanka's capital markets.
How did working at Stax prepare you for the challenges and opportunities in your current role?
Working at Stax provided me with valuable insights into a wide range of industries, business models, and the unique operational challenges they face. In addition, working with diverse teams and bringing different skillsets together on various projects, really helped hone my problem-solving skills and will definitely prove useful in my current role as I navigate working with multiple stakeholders.
If you were to give advice to current Stax employees, what would you recommend they focus on to advance their careers?
I would recommend to develop the core, technical skills during the early stages and then investing the time to understand the different industry dynamics to be able to add value to their day-to-day tasks. Also, reaching out to peers and senior team members and leveraging on their knowledge and experience can help you gain valuable guidance on advancing your career.
What’s a surprising hobby or interest you enjoy outside your day job?
I love reading up on history and playing the piano.
Rashmi Peiris
