Marlon Ferreira’s recognition is a testament to his dedication, innovation and leadership in the entrepreneurial landscape of Sri Lanka. His achievements serve as an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs.
In 1998, he embarked on an entrepreneurial journey to determine its own destiny, with an initial investment of just Rs.75,000, equivalent to US $ 1000 and just one person with a spray gun and a motorbike. Over the years, Marlon’s vision and hard work have transformed the company from a one-man operation into a leading environmental enhancement brand in Sri Lanka. Today, the company has created over 40 job opportunities and operates from five locations throughout Sri Lanka. 
Earlier this year, Marlon expanded globally by launching a pest management and technology company in the United Kingdom, solidifying his reputation as a serial global entrepreneur. Under Marlon’s leadership, Exterminators PLC has achieved remarkable milestones, becoming Asia’s first carbon-neutral pest management company and the world’s first carbon-neutral disinfection service provider. 
The company is also Asia’s first Great Place to Work-certified pest management company and has created history by becoming Asia’s first pest management company to be listed on a stock exchange.

Marlon has completed the Executive Leadership Programme from the University of Oxford, an MBA from the Australian Institute of Business and studied strategic marketing at the National University of Singapore. Marlon’s well-rounded education has equipped him with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the competitive business world. 
Furthermore, Marlon’s international qualifications in pest management, gained from intensive training in countries such as Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the UAE, United States, United Kingdom, Japan and the European Union, demonstrate his commitment to excellence and his ability to adapt to diverse and challenging environments.
