Originally initiated by Janashakthi Insurance, the event now returns under the leadership of JXG (Janashakthi Group) — Sri Lanka’s emerging financial conglomerate. Reflecting the expanded role of the Group, the initiative makes its comeback as the ‘CIMA - JXG Pinnacle Awards’, in collaboration with AICPA and CIMA Sri Lanka. Scheduled for 11 June 2025 at Cinnamon Life, the awards return after nearly two decades to once again recognise and celebrate excellence, leadership, and innovation across Sri Lanka’s corporate sector.
The awards will span eight categories, including Business Leader of the Year, Chief Financial Officer of the Year, and Young CGMA Star of the Year, recognising outstanding contributions across a range of business disciplines. Each category will present Gold, Silver, and Bronze accolades, acknowledging exceptional performance at different levels. Winners will be selected by an independent panel of judges, ensuring transparency and credibility in the evaluation process.
As a financial conglomerate, JXG sees the awards as a platform to support and spotlight emerging industry leaders and innovative organisations. The revival of the awards aims to celebrate achievements and highlight meaningful contributions to the corporate landscape.
JXG Managing Director/Group CEO and a former CIMA Sri Lanka Council Member Ramesh Schaffter said: “Our revival of the ‘CIMA - JXG Pinnacle Awards 2025’ reflects our philosophy of celebrating leadership, innovation, and excellence in the ever-evolving business landscape. By joining hands with AICPA and CIMA Sri Lanka, we aim to reinforce the credibility and prestige of these awards, while also offering recipients an opportunity to elevate their future ventures.”
AICPA and CIMA Sri Lanka Acting Country Manager Tharindu Wijewardana said: “Through the renewal of our partnership with JXG, we anticipate a promising step forward for Sri Lanka’s professional community. These awards are designed not only to recognise excellence but also to reinforce the values of professionalism, ethical leadership, and performance in practical contexts.”
The Pinnacle Awards were once a highly anticipated event on the corporate calendar, and their return marks the revival of a tradition that has long recognised individuals who have gone on to serve in key leadership roles across industries. Past awardees include respected professionals such as Hasitha Premaratne – Group Managing Director at Brandix; Suren Fernando – Group CEO at MAS Holdings Ltd; and Mahesha Amarasuriya – Director at Mastercard Sri Lanka.
Applications are now open, and professionals or organisations interested in participating can submit their entries via the AICPA and CIMA Sri Lanka website AICPA and CIMA JXG PINNACLE AWARDS 2025 | Advocacy | AICPA and CIMA.
The event is expected to serve as a valuable platform for networking and knowledge sharing among corporate leaders and professionals across industries.
