I was the General Manager, Director and Executive Director of National Savings Bank when Herath was Chairman. While I am deeply grateful to Herath for appointing me to these positions, I must say that it was the most rewarding, productive, and life-changing period of my banking career that gave me immense pleasure, satisfaction, and pride to work under a great leader like him. He was like an elder brother with whom I maintained a very intimate relationship until his death.
Herath studied at St. John’s College, Nugegoda, and Royal College, and graduated from the University of Ceylon, Peradeniya. In 1957 he joined the Police service as an ASP and in 1985 he was appointed as Inspector General of Police. He was Chairman of National Savings Bank from 1994 to 2002 and 2004 to 2005.
