Telia Lietuva Implements Management Changes
Telia Lietuva, AB, known for its significant contributions to telecommunications, has announced a strategic reorganization aimed at simplifying its management structure and enhancing operational efficiency. Starting November 1, 2025, key units, including Technology and Digital Transformation, along with Legal and Personnel, will merge to create a more cohesive working environment under the leadership of Vygintas Domarkas and Daiva Kasperavi?ien?.
Simplification of Structure
The previous organizational framework comprised ten distinct units, each with its own manager. By consolidating these units, Telia Lietuva will operate with a streamlined structure featuring just eight managers, fostering closer collaboration among teams. This move is designed to promote agility and more focused resource allocation, ensuring that the company's priorities align seamlessly with client needs.
Leadership Transition
Andrius Šemeškevi?ius, the current Head of Technology, will remain with the company until early 2026 to oversee this transition and maintain business continuity before moving on to explore new opportunities. Meanwhile, Ram?nas Bagdonas will transition to the role of Head of People and Culture within the Technology unit at Telia Company Group, while continuing to lead the personnel team at Telia Global Services Lithuania, further strengthening the organizational framework.
CEO's Perspective on the Changes
Giedr? Kaminskait?-Salters, the CEO of Telia Lietuva and Vice President at Telia Company responsible for the Baltics, expressed that these management changes are not reflective of personal performance but rather a necessary simplification of the organizational structure. “Our goal is to initiate efficiency from the top down, making quicker decisions and strategically directing resources,” she emphasized, highlighting the importance of these changes in achieving operational efficiency.
In acknowledgment of Andrius Šemeškevi?ius’s vital role, Kaminskait?-Salters noted that under his leadership, Lithuania achieved a rapid rollout of 5G technology, positioning the region among the leaders in Europe. His contributions in fostering a robust information and communication technology (ICT) framework have left a lasting impact on the market.
Recognizing Contributions
Moreover, Ram?nas Bagdonas’s efforts have significantly shaped Telia Lietuva's workplace culture, making it one of the most sought-after employers in Lithuania over the years. His leadership in fostering an open and diverse culture has been invaluable, a quality that will continue to benefit the Technology team through the ongoing changes.
Future Leadership and Unit Guidance
The newly formed Technology and Digital Transformation Unit will be led on an interim basis by Vygintas Domarkas, the current Head of Digital Transformation. This will remain until a thorough internal leadership selection process is conducted. Daiva Kasperavi?ien?, who currently oversees Legal and Corporate Affairs, will lead the combined Legal and People and Culture teams, ensuring continuity and expertise in these crucial areas.
As this transition unfolds, Telia Lietuva is committed to fostering an environment that not only keeps pace with technological advancements but also prioritizes the needs of its customers. This structural evolution marks a pivotal moment for Telia Lietuva and its dedication to excellence in service delivery.
