Sri Lanka’s Muzammil becomes first to secure CAMA certification
Muzammil earns top-tier global credential for managing complex infrastructure assets, boosting Sri Lanka’s presence in sector
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (MNTV) — A Sri Lankan infrastructure professional has become the first from the country to receive one of the world’s most advanced certifications in asset management, marking a milestone for Sri Lanka’s growing role in high-value infrastructure expertise.
Abdul Razak M. Muzammil was awarded the CAMA² (Certified Asset Management Assessor) credential by World Partners in Asset Management, a designation widely regarded as a top-tier benchmark in the field.
The certification reflects advanced expertise in international asset management standards, including lifecycle planning, risk-based decision-making, and performance optimization.
The recognition comes as asset management is gaining importance globally, particularly in regions investing heavily in large-scale infrastructure, airports and smart city systems.
Professionals with such certifications are increasingly in demand to ensure efficiency, sustainability and long-term value in complex projects.
Muzammil currently works at Jeddah International Airport, where he oversees asset management systems and operational performance for one of the Middle East’s busiest aviation hubs. His role involves managing infrastructure reliability, maintenance strategies and data-driven decision systems critical to large-scale airport operations.
With more than a decade of experience across major airports in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, his career reflects the growing presence of South Asian professionals in global infrastructure management.
His work has focused on improving asset performance, introducing predictive maintenance systems and strengthening operational efficiency in high-demand environments.
Industry observers say such achievements highlight an emerging shift for Sri Lanka, where aligning infrastructure practices with international standards is becoming increasingly important.
As countries invest in transport, energy and urban systems, expertise in structured asset management is seen as essential to avoid cost overruns, inefficiencies and system failures.
Muzammil’s recognition is therefore seen not only as a personal milestone but also as a signal of Sri Lanka’s expanding footprint in specialized global sectors that underpin modern infrastructure development.
