AASHIK ALAWDEEN, MRICS, MBA (UK), FIFMSL, BScFM, APM, IOSH, NEBOSH IGC, GREENSL®AP, is redefining what leadership looks like in facility management — where operational expertise meets environmental responsibility. As a Chartered Facilities Management Surveyor and strategic leader, he brings more than a decade of experience driving forward-thinking FM strategies across both industry and academia.

Under his leadership, facilities have achieved measurable impact: over 1 million kilowatt-hours in energy savings and more than US$100,000 in annual cost reductions through innovations like chiller optimization, greywater reuse, solar integration and AI-powered systems. But his influence extends beyond the buildings themselves. 

As past president of the Institute of Facilities Management Sri Lanka, Aashik strengthened the profession’s voice nationally and helped embed global standards in local practice. He mentors future leaders through his teaching role at the University of Moratuwa and continues to elevate FM’s profile as a strategic function in sustainable urban development. With global recognition from IFMA and the Asia Pacific Energy Champion Award, Aashik is building a legacy of purposeful, future-focused FM leadership.
