About Nandika Hettiarachchi

Hi LinkedIn, Iโ€™m looking forward to connecting with you! Hereโ€™s a bit about me and my background.๐๐Ž๐‘๐ & ๐‘๐€๐ˆ๐’๐„๐ƒ ๐ˆ๐ ๐’๐‘๐ˆ ๐‹๐€๐๐Š๐€ ๐Ÿ๏ธI was born and raised in a rural village in Sri Lanka with my parents and younger brother. My family was business owners, farmers, and miners/dealers of rare stones and gems. Thanks to my parentsโ€™ work, I was exposed to commerce at a young age and developed a strong interest in the mechanics of money. When I was 18, I won a scholarship to study in the United States, which was a dream come true. Despite the demands of a full-time job, I achieved my educational goals and specialized in finance.๐Œ๐Ž๐•๐ˆ๐๐† ๐ˆ๐๐“๐Ž ๐๐€๐˜๐Œ๐„๐๐“๐’ & ๐‘๐ˆ๐’๐Š ๐Œ๐€๐๐€๐†๐„๐Œ๐„๐๐“ ๐ŸฆAfter graduation, it was tough to find a new job but the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill kept me inspired. Through the teaching of this book, I understood the importance of the Definiteness of Purpose, Persistence, and Specialized knowledge. I began rethinking my career and got to work on a new plan. Being fascinated with how we do financial transactions, I got obsessed with Fintech and disruptive technologies like DLT and blockchain. At Processing.com, my role as Financial Controller wasn't just about crunching numbers. I spearheaded contract reforms post-Brexit with merchants and banks, slashing significant expenses within the EU zones. Later, as Payments Risk Manager at Nations Info, I lowered the company's risk profile and enhanced the billing engine's efficiency, elevating its success rate.๐‹๐„๐€๐ƒ๐ˆ๐๐† ๐…๐ˆ๐๐€๐๐‚๐„ & ๐€๐‚๐‚๐Ž๐”๐๐“๐ˆ๐๐† ๐“๐„๐€๐Œ๐’ Iโ€™ve leveraged my versatility and risk management prowess to help launch several start-ups. As Controller at Iconic Hearts, I manage multiple business functions, including accounting, finance, HR, legal, operations and risk management. I established metrics to monitor financial performance that contributed to improving overall P&L impact at the individual product level, resulting in an increase in Revenue and Profitability.๐‹๐„๐“'๐’ ๐‚๐Ž๐๐๐„๐‚๐“ ๐Ž๐ ๐‹๐ˆ๐๐Š๐„๐ƒ๐ˆ๐ My strong passion for learning led me to pursue two master's degrees in blockchain and web3. I was eager to expand my knowledge and acquire the expertise to teach others about this transformative field. I gained an understanding of startup formation and adopted a determined mindset to accomplish my goals. If youโ€™re looking to chat with a passionate fintech and web3 leader who bridges the gaps between strategy, operations, and growth - we should definitely connect.Thanks for reading my story,Nandika
