I specialize in delivering impactful business insights and crafting comprehensive analytic solutions, which encompass data integration, report automation, analytic tool and calculator creation, as well as BI and database development.

I pride myself on being an analytics generalist. This means I’m as comfortable discussing business strategies with CEOs as I am deliberating optimal data architectures with data engineers. My passion lies in exploring a diverse array of topics, from sales management, financial planning, and analysis, to risk and pricing analytics, customer behavior modeling, segmentation, and HR analytics. My approach covers the entire delivery process: from in-depth business analysis to solution development and user training.

I view myself as a one-stop solution for all analytics-related inquiries. I’ll pinpoint your primary business challenges and then select and craft the optimal solution to address them.

2023 January
Scoris is born

Recognizing a gap in the market for high-quality products and competition, I developed 'Scoris,' a comprehensive Lithuanian business database and platform dedicated to business data analysis.

2021 - 2023
Seeking independence

I chose to share my expertise with a broader audience as an independent consultant, leading to the birth of Explico. Since its inception, I've successfully completed numerous BI development, data analytics, and tool development projects for industry heavyweights. Decided not to purse independent consultant career and focus my efforts on building Scoris.

2020 - 2023
Back to the roots

"My tenure in leadership was invaluable. However, I realized that my strengths lie more in analysis than diplomacy. Consequently, I stepped down from the leadership role and joined Luminor. Here, as a BI product owner, I continue to assist businesses in obtaining data, insights, and reports.

2017-2020
Building leadership competences

It was a natural progression for me to transition into leadership roles:

  • Head of Data and Analytics at Luminor: Here, I laid the groundwork for customer reporting and analytics in the aftermath of a merger.

  • Head of Management Reporting Analytics at Girteka: In this capacity, I enhanced BI stability, established BI delivery processes, and improved both planning and quarterly reporting procedures.

2013-2017
Advancing my career

I took on the role of Senior Strategy Analyst for Nordea Baltic Countries, working directly within the CEO's team. My primary role was to shape Nordea's Baltic strategy through data-driven insights. By delving deeply into various business sectors, I proposed actionable improvements, many of which positively impacted the bottom line. Additionally, I lent analytical support to strategic projects, including M&A and due diligence.

2008 - 2013
Establishing my Career
  • I began my journey at Swedbank Asset Management as a Market Risk Analyst. There, I assessed the effectiveness of portfolio managers using the portfolio attribution method.
  • Subsequently, I moved to Nordea Lithuania in the capacity of a Business Analyst. My responsibilities encompassed market and competitor analysis, financial analysis, and eventually extended to capital and pricing management.

Projects

I successfully implemented a Power BI-based BI solution from the ground up in two medium-sized companies. This involved analyzing business requirements, understanding data sources, and crafting a tailored data model along with comprehensive dashboards.

I developed the comprehensive Lithuanian business database, scoris.lt. This project entailed business development, integrating data from over 100 public sources into a single, structured, and clean database about all Lithuanian legal entities. Additionally, I took charge of front-end development and design.

I designed a fund management tool that aggregates data on asset positions, movements, and cash flows. This tool intelligently generates optimal buy/sell transactions to align portfolios with their strategic allocation.

I developed a staff budget forecast tool that projects future scenarios by factoring in staff turnover, career progression, and individual performance metrics.

I constructed an optimal route model for a major trucking company, covering the entire EU at the NUTS2 level, and it’s grounded in actual data.
