Kilo Health

2024 wraps up when the Kilo Health team comes together to reflect, celebrate, and prepare for what's next. It's been a year of growth, and we're carrying that momentum forward with our 3-year strategy. At the annual catch-up event, our CTO, Vladislav Grablevskij, highlighted our focus on tech and AI, while Tadas Burgaila entertained us with stories from #SharkTank and inspired us to chase our dreams. By doubling down on what works best, each of us plays a role in shaping the future. Our CEO, Žygimantas Surintas, reminds us: "Strategies aren't set in stone. Let's stay open, adapt, and do what's best." Stay tuned — big things are ahead!

Now, these young women are ready to bring their first business ideas to life. Our Finance Controller, Agnė Giedraitienė, is one of the mentors who will be working with them over the next four months.

We’re back at it — strengthening our team of Creative Strategists with the help of The Atomic Garden Vilnius! Our last Media Buying crash course had over 400 applications.

This time, we’ve included our own employees in the training, allowing them to enhance their skills while helping external candidates better understand how a startup operates,” says our Head of Learning and Development, Aurelija Ganusauskaitė.
