About Me

I'm Mathan, a global citizen with roots in Sri Lanka and Germany, driven by a 25-year journey through the intricate worlds of language, technology, and business.

With a master's in linguistics focused on human-machine interaction, I pioneered a machine translation framework that boosted productivity by over 40% at IBM: research that turned academic theory into a tangible business impact.

My career canvas is broad: from scaling sales teams from 8 to 45 as VP of Sales to being involved in strategic transformations at RWS following the SDL acquisition, and consulting across continents from the Bay Area to Berlin. I specialize in navigating fragmented technology landscapes and optimizing content supply chains, knowing firsthand that meaningful progress is never plug-and-play. It's complex, demanding, and worth it.

I see business like a fine whiskey: true quality requires time, patience, and the right conditions. Quick wins might dominate headlines, but they lack the soul and substance built over years of experience. My approach combines decades of knocking on doors, presenting at conferences, and wrestling with big-picture problems.

At Neurally Intense, I share unfiltered, practical insights free from MBA buzzwords, designed for language enthusiasts, tech innovators, and leaders who value depth over hype. This isn't your average content; it's raw methodology from a life lived at the intersection of technology and humanity.

Whether you're decoding AI use cases, optimizing business strategies, or simply craving authentic discourse in our over-automated world, let's connect and craft bold solutions together.
