Entrepreneurs’ Organisation (EO), Sri Lanka, part of the global body for entrepreneurs and business owners, inaugurated a new President and Board of Directors at an event held at the Mount Lavinia Hotel. 

Outgoing President Jitherndra Gajendran (Director of Gajma & Co.) handed over the reins to Haresh de Soysa (Director of Trade Promoters Ltd.). This transition comes on the heels of a noteworthy event in June when the local chapter played host to the EO South Asia Leadership Conference (SALC) in Colombo. The conference drew in an impressive crowd of over 300 entrepreneur participants, representing EO chapter boards from across the South Asian region. SALC, beyond being a gathering of business minds, served as a platform for promoting regional cooperation and knowledge exchange. Attendees engaged in insightful discussions, shared their experiences, and also explored Sri Lanka’s unique attractions and business opportunities.

EO arrived in Sri Lanka in 2017 with the launch of EO Sri Lanka. Despite challenges posed by the global pandemic and the economic crisis, EO in Sri Lanka has expanded its membership to over 50 in 2023. On a global scale, EO is a diverse, professional, and high-quality network of over 18,000 business founders and owners in 220 chapters across over 75 countries worldwide. Its purpose is to move the world forward by unlocking entrepreneurs’ full potential, and it does this through the power of life-enhancing connections, shared experiences, and collaborative learning.

Launched in 1987, EO has been helping entrepreneurs find community and achieve transformational growth together, guided by its core values of Trust and Respect, Thirst for Learning, Think Big be Bold, and Together we Grow.
