Deepal Abeywickrema, currently Senior Vice President – Sales for Nestlé Lanka, has been appointed Managing Director for Nestlé Bangladesh.

Backed by 32 years of experience in five Nestlé markets worldwide, Deepal’s unique know-how across a diverse range of businesses, geographies, and consumer behaviours has seen him leave a traila of successes in his career, with a reputation for delivering results and turning around businesses in the most challenging of conditions.

Deepal’s strength lies in the sales, marketing and food service functions, where he was responsible for initiating many projects that remain the driving force of these functions in many Nestlé markets today.

Bangaldesh is a key growth driver for Nestlé in the South-Asian region, recording consistent double-digit growth over the last 10 years. Deepal is the first Asian to take the helm of Nestlé Bangladesh and is expected to use his diverse experience in South Asia and Oceania to continue the strong momentum, explore new opportunities and accelerate company performance even further.
