Roy Ratnavel was born in the capital city of Colombo, Sri Lanka—a tiny island nation located in the Indian Ocean. He spent his formative years in Point Pedro, located in the northern region of the island, during a period marked by war, which exposed him to traumatic and harrowing experiences. At the age of seventeen, he became a political prisoner—and spent gruelling months in brutal and oppressive conditions. After his miraculous release from prison, he arrived in Canada all alone at the age of eighteen, then rose from the mailroom to the boardroom and was the recipient of Report on Business, Canada’s 50 Best Executives 2020 award. He is now a retired investment executive who was the Vice Chairman of Canada’s largest independent asset management company. His memoir, Prisoner #1056, became an immediate #1 national bestseller in Canada. Roy is an accidental Sri Lankan by birth, an unapologetic Tamil by heritage, and a proud Canadian by choice.
