My professional journey

Head of AI Transformation

Saige Consulting

Jul 2026 Present · Vilnius, Lithuania / Global · full-time

I lead the business side of AI transformation across Saige Consulting, turning fragmented AI experiments into repeatable, measurable workflows across client delivery, internal operations, and relevant group entities. I identify high-value operational problems, define the business case, success metrics, governance, and human-review requirements, then coordinate implementation, testing, and scaling with technical teams to improve margin, delivery speed, quality, and scalability.

  • Build and prioritize a company-wide AI transformation roadmap by evaluating workflows for business impact, feasibility, risk, effort, data availability, and speed of validation
  • Lead applied pilots across live client projects and internal operations to reduce manual coordination, rework, cost, and senior technical load while protecting quality and client trust
  • Define baseline metrics and performance tracking across hours saved, delivery speed, margin, quality, rework, team adoption, and reuse across projects
  • Establish practical rules for workflow ownership, human approval, quality review, escalation, and reuse of AI-enabled workflows across teams
  • Coordinate leadership, global operations, technical teams, and project owners to turn validated pilots into reusable playbooks and a scalable operating model
