Work Experience

Executive Business Manager

Lazerinės Odontologijos Centras

September 2023 - Current role

This is not a regular student job, I understand, but I was fortunate enough to secure this opportunity and made the most of it.

It’s a prestigious dental clinic in Kaunas, Lithuania, owned by a family of odontologists. As the executive business manager, I collaborated with the family to help manage and operate the clinic. The synergy between their 30 years of experience in this business and my fresh knowledge of business management, communication, innovative ideas, and courage produced excellent results.

During my time working there, I developed several valuable skills:

• Interpersonal Skills: This job required extensive communication, human resource management, and strong interpersonal skills. Understanding human psychology and navigating conflicts professionally and ethically were crucial, giving me number of opportunities to test and refine these invaluable skills.

• Business Development: I had to find ways to implement innovations despite time, financial, and human capital constraints. Managing these challenges enhanced my strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities.

• Marketing and Communications: This area is where I get to relax and learn new things. It requires significant attention and skill, but it’s also the part of the business where I find the most enjoyment and ease. I thrive in a creative environment so I honed my ability to create and execute effective marketing strategies.

• Client Management in Dentistry: Dentistry is a complex business. Ensuring that clients have an excellent experience is both the toughest and most interesting part of operating a dental clinic. The private sector of dentistry in Lithuania is considered a luxury service, so managing client expectations and providing top-tier service is critical. Learning to manage this type of business has been a significant and rewarding challenge.

• Leadership and Team Management: Leading a diverse team and ensuring smooth operations required strong leadership and team management skills.

• Financial Management: Overseeing budgets, financial planning, and resource allocation sharpened my financial acumen.

• Operational Efficiency: Streamlining processes and improving operational efficiency to enhance overall productivity and service quality was a key focus area.

Overall, this role allowed me to grow both personally and professionally, providing a solid foundation for my future career endeavors.
