„BAIP group has grown not only in terms of the number of employees and daughter companies but also in terms of project geography. Therefore, implementation of the group strategies and its expansion require my undivided attention. BAIP will continue to work in Lithuania and neighbouring countries, and through BAIP group – in other regions, too. Leadership of the company will be taken over by Mr. Umantas – my colleague whom I have been working with for more than 6 years” – commented Mr. Tonkūnas.
The newly appointed BAIP CEO Mr. Umantas said that: „I will be an active ambassador of our clients and seek for our closer and broader cooperation. BAIP has invested a lot in technological and process knowledge, acquired special partnerships. More of our clients in Lithuania and abroad could benefit from this. I want BAIP to maintain its leading positions in the field of critical IT infrastructure in Lithuania as well as be a company that is interesting and creative because of its approach and services; a company that is continuously growing together with our clients”.
