We Understand Finance Teams Because We’ve Led Them
Bridge360’s corporate recruitment service is built on genuine leadership and hiring experience — not guesswork, not CV-matching, and not transactional recruitment.
Our Co-Founder, Praveen Aakash Narayana, brings over 20 years of senior finance leadership, people management, and recruitment exposure across Sri Lanka, Dubai, and New Zealand, giving Bridge360 a rare, end-to-end understanding of how high-performing finance teams are built.
As a Chartered Accountant (CA-ANZ) with multiple global professional designations — FCCA (UK), FCPA (Australia), FCMA (Sri Lanka), CA (UAE) — and a Master of Applied Management (NMIT – New Zealand), Praveen has a deep technical and commercial understanding of the skills, behaviours, and leadership qualities required across all levels of the finance function.
Through senior finance leadership roles in international markets such as Dubai and Sri Lanka, combined with hands-on involvement in finance recruitment and team building within New Zealand organisations, Praveen has developed strong insight into:
- role design and capability requirements
- talent gaps and succession needs
- technical and behavioural assessment
- leadership and team-fit evaluation
This depth of experience is now extended to New Zealand employers through Bridge360’s ethical, experience-led corporate recruitment services.
