Justas Jankūnas has both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Mathematics, along with a strong background in data analytics and information technologies management in telecoms, finance, retail industries as well as public sector companies. During his career, Justas has been involved in various data and IT analytics projects ranging from customer lifetime value modeling, customer segmentation, optimization of retailer SKUs distribution through stores, Discrete Choice Experiments modeling, predictive analytics using customers purchase behavior to IT/data achitecture specification and reporting package design. During his previous projects, Justas was also responsible for designing and implementing data analytics tools which would be based on internal company data with main objective of making these tools highly automated.

"Digital technologies are constantly improving which results in data being collected and stored in amounts that are unimaginable for a regular person. However, most public and private companies still use only a small part of the data available for them to make business decisions, track their product success, or improve customer experience. This gives both a challenge as well as an opportunity for data-geeks like myself to use their skills and create meaningful impact. I am excited about the opportunity to co-lead the data practice in CIVITTA and make all that happen!"

— Justas Jankūnas

We are honored that we have Eva, Daniela, Dmytro and Justas as Associate Partners in CIVITTA and we look forward to their ambitious projects!
