Justė Pačkauskaitė, Managing
Partner in Latvia and Lithuania
Describe CIVITTA
Lithuania and Latvia
operations.
CIVITTA Lithuania and Latvia
offices are seen as well-structured
offices with diversified operations.
Our team is made of 100 people led
by 16 partners and associate
partners. Both offices have enjoyed
growth in recent years thanks to a
business-friendly environment,
resilient financial system and
stable government finances aimed
at improving efficiency in
Lithuania and Latvia. In both
offices, we are the leading
management consulting firm
working with private clients, public
sector organizations and start-ups.
All practice areas have their own
sets of challenges, but together we
are more resilient to market shifts,
as slower period in one area is
compensated by breakthroughs in
the other areas. Define a great leader.
Where do you see the
major development in
your region in the
upcoming years? What leadership lesson
can you share?
My intention is to make sure that
the partner team in Lithuania and
Latvia is solid and united with the
vision of expanding even further
into new practice areas. While we
are traditionally drawing strength
from continued client relationship
and practice areas, as a leadership
team and as a delivery house we
want to keep up with the new
challenges and opportunities,
aiming to expand CIVITTA way
beyond our home countries.
Best leaders have a drive for
becoming better and making their
environment better and are able to
transform abstract ideas into
something that later becomes
reality. I am always inspired by the
way small mundane sounding
decisions that are put into action
can end up very transformational.
The biggest lesson is that
businesses cannot stop and get
comfortable. Leadership needs to
ensure that business is always
looking ahead and being in some
state of transformation.
What career advice do you
have for younger
colleagues starting to
work in consulting?
Think broader and deeper and find
interesting aspects in every project
you do. There is nothing better
than to lead projects where
analysts are burning with interest
and passion to deliver great results.
When you are interested, I am so
happy to share all I know.
