Janina Kulikian

Head of Smart Metering

AB „Energijos skirstymo operatorius“ (ESO)

I was still a business management student when I applied for an entry-level ERP system sales manager job. Although, instantly I found that more engaging for me was not to sell the system but to configure, consult clients and analyze the solutions. Therefore I switched to junior consultant for the ERP system. And this decision, 12 years back, was a real-life changer – from that time I never doubted that Tech is my path. Currently, I work in the energy sector, for the Energijos skirstymo operatorius – the company is responsible for the electricity and gas distribution in Lithuania. For the last 3 years, I am responsible for the smart meter deployment program – which involves both energy solutions and IT solutions.
I joined the Women Go Tech because I know that having by your side someone who can, by sharing experience and knowledge, help make it happen motivates me and encourages to be part of the program. Besides, I believe that I will get a lot of experience from the participants – they are bright and enthusiastic so this will add many colours to my experience.
