About
Avenyr
At Avenyr, we work with bold leaders building the future through technology. We engage from the Series A stage to IPO and beyond.
We’ve been operators ourselves. We’ve led teams through chaos, uncertainty, and rapid growth. We know how blurry things get when you’re moving fast, and how easy it is to lose sight of what really matters.
That’s why we started Avenyr. To be the kind of partner we wish we had—one that brings clarity when things are complex, belief when things feel hard, and structure without stripping away soul. Our role is part sounding board, part sparring partner, part builder. We ask the hard questions, help you find the right answers, and stay with you through the messy middle.
Whether it’s navigating rapid growth, evolving your go-to-market, scaling your team, or becoming the leader your company needs next, we’re here to help you shape the future.

Backstory
I didn’t know anything about technology when I graduated. I was born in Sri Lanka, grew up in Australia, and studied law and economics – an outsider to the world of tech.
I started my career in FMCG, moved through telco, and eventually found my home in technology. It was fast, challenging, creative, everything I wanted in a career. Over the next 15+ years, I worked across the world in roles spanning product, strategy, marketing, and operations. Most recently, I was Chief Operating Officer at a technology company that scaled globally and achieved a $1.7B exit.
I’m a big believer in rethinking assumptions and being willing to start from scratch. I learnt that from my grandparents. I remember my grandfather doing paper rounds at 5am after migrating to Australia, because finding a job in your 50s in a new country was hard. That resilience shaped me.
It’s why I love working with leaders and teams to build companies, when vision and grit are sometimes all you’ve got. I started Avenyr to offer the kind of partnership I would have valued along the way. Someone who knows when to challenge and when to listen. Who understands that scaling a company also means scaling yourself.
I’m most energised when working with leaders who are quietly bold, those who are always asking the deeper questions. That’s who I built Avenyr for.
