Top SchoolAchala Arunalu is a Senior Program Manager with nine years of experience blending technical product management, delivery leadership, and hands-on systems architecture across SaaS, IoT, and real‑time communications. She has led end-to-end product lifecycles—from hardware‑enabled IoT biometrics and Cloud POS to WebRTC platforms—and is comfortable translating C‑suite strategy into engineering roadmaps and CI/CD releases. Known for removing information silos and improving delivery visibility with pragmatic tooling and documentation, she balances agile servant leadership with data-driven prioritization techniques like Kano and MoSCoW. Recently she has embedded AI into product strategy to analyze GHG emissions, reflecting a practical interest in sustainability that also led her to co-found Reforest Sri Lanka and earn a fellowship for urban sustainability work. Based in Colombo, she merges entrepreneurial instincts from founding roles with the delivery discipline of managing cross‑functional teams and external partners to ship scalable, secure products.
