Ashan Kumar, Group Chairperson of Wire Communication Consultancy Holdings, has received the Global CEO Forum 45 Under 45 Leadership Excellence Platinum Awards 2026 recently held at The Hilton, Colombo.
The recognition comes amid a broader restructuring in Asia’s professional services and communications sector, where corporations are prioritizing risk management, stakeholder trust, and strategic narrative control to navigate volatile market environments.
Under Kumar’s leadership, the Sri Lanka-originated Wire Group has expanded regionally and internationally, shifting its focus toward corporate positioning, crisis resilience, and business intelligence.
“Strategic communication is becoming one of the most important business drivers for organizations looking for relevance and trust in an increasingly complex global business landscape,” Kumar said. He added that the award reflects the firm’s focus on building sustainable communication frameworks and its continuous focus on innovation and team upliftment in a purpose focused of “Believing and Changing Lives”.
Industry analysts note that the award underscores the growing strategic maturity of South Asian professional service firms competing on a global stage, particularly at a time when multinational stakeholders are demanding higher standards of reputation architecture during corporate disruptions.
The ‘45 Under 45’, organized by the Global CEO Forum gathers C-suite executives and entrepreneurs across multiple industries to recognize executives demonstrating strategic vision and measurable market influence.
