Professional project manager +10 years managed different scale and technologies projects, using Agile and Waterfall project management methodologies. In a world where everyone is hugely busy, a project manager’s job of bringing a team together to work as one is far from easy. You might not have the specific skills or knowledge of each project member, but what is excellent at is seeing the bigger picture of how the jigsaw fits together and moving the right pieces to the right place at the right time. I want to encourage Woman Go Tech participants to dive deeper into PM’s profession and ready to share my experience.

Vytautas Ašeris. Director of Engineering. Vinted
Vytautas Ašeris
Director of Engineering
Vinted
Experience gained from a variety of different roles (as an analyst, software developer, team manager, department manager, tribe coach and director of engineering) allowed me to clearly understand that life-long learning is the common denominator in any field, let alone – in IT. I strongly believe that the greatest success is achieved by those teams and those individuals, who not only possess great skills and drive but also put a great deal of effort into their development and improvement. Only then we have a chance to succeed in this ever-changing and evolving world of IT. And some magic of Emotional Intelligence on top – as a secret ingredient, which (still) tends to get overlooked.

I have a master’s degree in Software Engineering and 10+ years of experience in Product and People Management. The world of IT caught my eye when I was still in middle school and this career path seemed as an obvious choice, however during my studies I have realised that I don’t want to be a software developer. This made me question my decision until I’ve learned that IT is not just development. Even though I have found my place – the journey wasn’t easy. My goal as a mentor is to help others like me to find their way in the world of Technologies with less stress and self-doubt.
