Available to hire
I’m Clive Shalindra, a business development professional with a track record spanning fintech payments, event sales, and cross-border e-commerce. I have cut merchant onboarding times from weeks to 2-3 days and consistently exceeded targets, including selling 250+ Disrupt Asia tickets and generating LKR 4.5M in revenue. I enjoy turning merchant feedback into product improvements and aligning cross-functional teams across London and Sri Lanka to drive growth.
I’m seeking hybrid or remote BD or sales roles centered on customer success, where I can blend partnerships, onboarding, and strategic marketing to help businesses scale.
