About accentae
The Founder
Accentae was founded on a simple premise: the most valuable thing a consultant can offer is not a report - it is access.
Access to the right people, the right rooms, and the right conversations.
Manori Unambuwe brings three things to every client engagement that are rarely found in a single person.
Twenty-five years at SAP, IBM and Oracle - leading teams, winning complex deals, and learning what actually moves a business forward in competitive international markets.
The relationships that come from serving as Sri Lanka's Ambassador to Germany and Switzerland - at the highest levels of European government, business and innovation.
And a depth of connection across Sri Lanka's business, investor, government and innovation ecosystem that has been built over decades - and is genuinely unmatched.
She is also an Ambassador for AsiaBerlin, the Berlin Senate's initiative connecting European and Asian startup ecosystems and President of Sri Lanka Regional Office of European SME Association (ESMEA)
"You don't need to be big to go global. You just need to be smart about where you start - and who you start with."
Our Approach
We start with your situation, not our services.
Every engagement begins with a conversation about where you are, where you want to go, and what is genuinely standing in the way. We don't arrive with a fixed methodology - we design an approach that fits your specific context, timeline, and appetite for risk.
We open doors, not just strategies.
The value Accentae provides is often invisible to the naked eye - an introduction at the right moment, a relationship that took years to build, a cultural nuance that determines whether a conversation leads somewhere. We work alongside you, not at arm's length.
We are independently on your side.
Accentae has no platform to sell, no implementation fee to earn, and no preferred vendors to push. Our only interest is in the right outcome for your business. That independence is rarer than it sounds - and our clients tell us it is one of the most valuable things we offer.
