Thuli is an ex-chef, Sri Lankan supper-club founder and food writer with a background spanning hospitality, culture and marketing.

He has spent years understanding what makes restaurants meaningful, and what makes people show up for them, bringing that perspective to his work across independent restaurants and high-street names.

His approach to hospitality marketing is culturally embedded and commercially focused, with a particular instinct for spotting trends and turning cultural relevance into real-world results.

He is also the founder of Pol Boy, a Sri Lankan diaspora cooking project, and curated Resilience: Recipes from the Sri Lankan Diaspora, a charity cookbook created with Sri Lankan cooks and chefs across the UK and Australia.
