A message from our founder
Talent is the most important thing at Codax.
We grow companies across many industries, and the only way that works is if every person on the team takes responsibility for a client's business as if it were their own. Nobody waits to be told. Nobody hands a problem back.
I am proud to say we have built, and continue to build, a team that lives by that ethos.
Dineth Ratnayake
Founder and President, Codax
Built companies across martech, healthcare and marketing services
How we operate
Two principles apply to every role at Codax
01
Own the client's business
We treat every client's business as our own.
- Act as an owner
- Make each decision as you would if the business were your own.
- Anticipate needs
- Identify what the client requires before it is requested.
- Prioritise client success
- Client growth takes precedence over all other considerations.
02
Own the outcome
Results, not effort, are the measure of our work.
- Remove obstacles
- When work is blocked, resolve it. Follow up, find another route or complete it yourself.
- Retain accountability
- Waiting on others does not transfer responsibility for the outcome.
- Take initiative
- Identify problems and take on new work without being asked.
Life at Codax
Action is always greater than the plan
Programme
University workshops
Led by Niketh de Silva, Co-Founder of Codax, with Founder Dineth Ratnayake. Workshops for students on taking an idea to market, building a go-to-market strategy and winning the first customer. Most in the room plan to work for a few years before building something of their own. Our advice is to start sooner.

Roy flew in from Australia to spend time with the Codax team, and we hosted a session at the office dedicated to bringing his ideas to life on camera. The team worked alongside him, learned from his experience and helped shape his vision. His energy and perspective left a lasting impression on everyone.
