I am responsible for marketing and business development in our company. I graduated from ISM University, interned in Amsterdam, and returned to Lithuania with the goal of successfully migrating the online store. However, instead of the planned 9 months, I have been with the company for 7 years – after recognizing its potential and assembling a team, we successfully grew about 5 times and instead of being a seasonal, niche business, we became a well-known name not only in Lithuania but also in other Baltic countries.

Justinas Valiūnas

CEO, Klipshop.lt / UAB GSS BALTIC

Klipshop.lt began its online operations in 2015. Since establishing its e-commerce platform, which now offers over 40,000 different products, the most significant challenge was finding suitable solutions that aligned with the Klipshop.lt business model. At the time, the market lacked affordable warehouse management solutions, leading to the development of internal tools. Today, the e-store boasts a strong IT department responsible for all technological solutions, ranging from product packaging and selection to customer service.
