Insightful Panel Discussion on Business Growth and Leadership
The CXO Circle recently hosted the CEO’s Dinner at Cinnamon Life, creating an exclusive platform for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and corporate executives to connect, collaborate, and exchange insights. The evening brought together some industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and CEOs to discuss the future of business growth and leadership.
A key highlight of the evening was the engaging panel discussion featuring Lalith Fernando, Chief Financial Officer of the Capital Maharaja Group, and Suresh Daniel, Chief Executive Officer of Inextricable Group, UK. The conversation centred on scaling businesses for long-term success, with both leaders offering valuable insights into sustainable growth, global expansion, and the evolving role of leadership in navigating uncertainty and driving innovation.
Delivering an inspiring address, Suresh Daniel emphasised that while strategy, technology, and financial planning are critical, the proper foundation of long-term business success lies in winning trust. He highlighted that trust—whether with employees, customers, or stakeholders remains the cornerstone of resilience and scalability in a rapidly changing global economy.
“Strategy only creates impact when it translates into action. In today’s dynamic environment, businesses face constant disruption, and it is leaders who can guide their teams through transformation that ultimately create sustainable growth. Above all, trust is the catalyst that drives collaboration, innovation, and enduring success,” noted Suresh.
Adding to the discussion, Lalith Fernando shared insights on the importance of sound financial discipline and adaptive leadership in steering organisations through expansion phases. He underscored that successful scaling requires a balance of robust governance, innovative thinking, and adapting to local and international market challenges.
The CEO’s Dinner facilitated thought-provoking dialogue and provided a unique networking opportunity for attendees to build meaningful connections, explore synergies across industries, and strengthen collaborative efforts to drive business excellence.
Through this initiative, the CXO Circle continues reaffirming its commitment to fostering knowledge sharing, leadership development, and collaboration among the nation’s top corporate leaders.
