Thissa joined UBRPL in 2013 after working for some of the largest hotel groups operating in Sri Lanka and the Middle East, including the UK’s intercontinental Group (IHG) and Dubai’s Jumeirah Group. Thissa was part of the opening team of Jumeirah Dubai, the first 7-star class hotel in the world. Thissa started his career in 1983 as a Room Boy at the Intercontinental Colombo, and he progressed through the IHG management training to become a trainer himself.
