About

On the record

I have been working with amazing teams in more than ten tech and media companies in my career. They all have one thing in common - a quest to disrupt the status quo, create new industries from scratch, or change how things are being done. I firmly believe that companies must have an answer to the question "Why."* Xolo (CEO, 2018-2023) is targeting the world's 100m-strong freelancer community and has a mission to make solopreneurship better than employment.* Starship Technologies (COO, 2015-18) introduced the first new class of transportation devices after Segway and became the global leader in self-driving delivery robotics.* MTVP (Managing Partner, 2004-present) is one of the very first venture capital companies in the Baltic states, Russia and Ukraine, introducing tech funding in the region that had almost no functioning VC industry * MicroLink (CEO, 1998-2004) was a leading PC maker in the Baltic states that we turned into the largest enterprise IT services, online media, and tech investment company.* Delfi (co-founder, Chairman, 1998-2004) created the online media industry in the Baltic states and continues to be a strong #1 on the market.* Baltic News Service (Founder, CEO, 1990-98) introduced Western-style, technology-based news reporting to the Baltics and is still the #1 news agency in the region * SAF Tehnika (Chairman, became one of the global leaders in the microwave radio links industry and the first NASDAQ-listed tech company in the Baltics * Reach-U (Chairman) is a leading location-based services platform company for mobile carriers * Invisible.io (Chairman, investor) is passionate about "making enterprise software invisible."* Reksoft (Chairman, investor) became one of the most respected software development companies in Eastern Europe. I am passionate about hardware, online media, professional news and corporate intelligence, consumer-facing services, tech investments, aerospace, Greentech, etc.
