He is currently chairman of Melstacorp PLC, Distilleries Company of Sri Lanka PLC, Lanka Bell and Aitken Spence PLC.[2] Jayawardena is also the Honorary Consul General for Denmark in Sri Lanka. He was listed as the richest person in Sri Lanka in 2008, with his founding company Stassen Exports controlling approximately $1.4 billion in equity, owning Hatton National Bank (valued at Rs. 84 billion ($650m)), Aitken Spence (valued at Rs. 38 billion ($260m)), Distilleries Company (Rs. 82 billion ($620million)) and several other private holdings. HistoryAfter resigning from public service as the Tea Department Manager of state owned monopoly trading company State Trading Company Consolidated Exports Ltd, better known as Consolexpo, he pioneered the Stassen Exports Limited on 7 September 1977 as a company to export Ceylon Tea. This happened when Sri Lanka ventured to the free market economy with the induction of the then Sri Lankan President Junius Richard Jayewardene. By 1988, Jayawardena's companies became a significant shareholder of the country's largest private commercial bank he is a star, Hatton National Bank.[3] The companies significantly owned by Harry Jayawardena ventured into many other areas such as food and beverage with the acquisition of majority shares of then state owned Lanka Milk Foods(CWE) Limited in 1991 and later the Distilleries Company of Sri Lanka PLC (DCSL) in 1992 in the then-largest transaction in the Colombo Stock Exchange. In 2007 DCSL under Jayawardena's Chairmanship became the No. 1 listed company as per the "Business Today" Top 10 rankings.[4] In July 2016, Harry Jayawardena made a bid to acquire Holcim Lanka Ltd. Harry along with Nandana Lokuwithana (Onyx Group) are the only Sri Lankans who were interested in Holcim acquisition. But both found to be unsuccessful in the bidding process.[5][6] Business interestsCurrently, Jayawardena has interests in the following listed companies (in the Colombo Stock Exchange), where he is also acting as the Chairman of the board of directors.[7]

Awards and recognitionDistilleries Company of Sri Lanka and Aitken Spence, both in which Jayawardena is the chairman, were the first Sri Lankan companies ever to be listed in the Forbes List of best managed companies outside the USA.[8] In 2007 Distilleries Company of Sri Lanka PLC is the sole Sri Lankan company to be listed once again in the Forbes List of Asia's best 200 under a US$ Billion.[9]World-renowned First Asian Green Globe award winner Heritance Kandalama Hotel[10] and award winning Heritance Tea Factory hotel[11] both located in Sri Lanka are owned by the companies in the group. ControversyDuring a December 2006 alleged attempt to remove the Chairman of the Distilleries Company of Sri Lanka, Jayawardena, then managing director of DCSL, was allegedly quoted as threatening to shoot the chairman.[12] Subsequently Harry Jayawardena assumed duties as the Chairman of DCSL. The same news paper alleged that Jayawardena threatened a customs officer, many years back.[13] Harry Jayawardene announced his voluntary resignation from CPC (Ceylon Petroleum Corporation) on 12, January 2012, a post given by Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa. As reason for his resignation from CPC he stated due to his personal issues he has announced his resignation.[14] Honorary positionsJayawardena also held several honorary positions including the Senior Adviser for International Trade and Foreign Investments to the then Sri Lankan President Chandrika Kumaratunga.[15] He was a member of Colombo Stock Exchange for many years. He was a member of the Apex Task Force to Rebuild the Nation (TAFREN)[16] established by the President of Sri Lanka after the December 2004 tsunami that affected most parts of Sri Lanka.
