New Things Bundled: Marriage, Job

Posted by – August 28, 2008

New things often come in a bundle. This short post is for my friends to get updated on what is new in my life.

Most importantly, I am getting married with a beautiful Lithuanian girl, called Lina. We met in salsa classes in Vilnius, and started getting along, rode bikes, traveled and ended up in a strong relationship.

The wedding ceremony is going to happen on 12:30, 4th October in St. Peter and Povilas Church, Antakalnio Str. 1, Vilnius.

Second important change in my life is employment. I am starting at Dell (Dell Emerging Markets EMEA Ltd) as Solutions Consultant. There are plenty of great things about this job:

  • As previously at CA, it will be a Pan-Baltic position plus Iceland (after visiting Reykjavik twice for training fresh BEST group, I felt in love with the country and people there!)
  • From previous job’s “Dream team” of 3 persons, two of us are coming to work to Dell.  I can enjoy great relationship again and again!
  • I wanted to work for Dell just after my PhD as I heard many great words about it from my Ex-colleague from Motorola. However, I wanted to return home even more, thus I did not stay in Denmark. Dreams come true, and now I am again colleague with Marianne – my great friend and coaching master!

What I learned in Baltic and Scandinavian markets, that in particular industry (let’s say, IT :) , people have careers in such way, that it becomes a network of relationships. Like: Compaq-HP-Dell, GNT-Novel-CA-Dell, Motorola-CA-Dell, DEC-CA-IBM, DEC-Dell-CA. Now bet, what are the chances, that these people know each other via Scandinavian or Baltic operations? :)
