Patricijus Cvizonas

Head of Procurement, Franmax (Maxima Group)

I’ve spent over 10 years navigating various roles in IT, including SAM Manager, Head of IT, CEO, and now Head of Procurement. I hold a Master’s in Computer Science and an Executive MBA. My experience spans multiple sectors, including banking, telecommunications, telematics, and retail. Procurement and negotiations are my true passions, where I focus on practical solutions over theory. I believe the best learning comes from real-life experiences, especially from mistakes. My journey is about hands-on leadership, continual learning, and driving results through strategic decision-making.

The Pop in my job: The continuous challenge to split it evenly, not just split it in half.
