With a career deeply rooted in the maritime sector, I bring more than 20 years of hands-on and strategic experience to the field of port development and sustainable mobility. I hold master’s degrees in diplomacy and engineering, and am currently pursuing a PhD in transport at the Latvian Maritime Academy. Throughout my career, I have managed and coordinated major projects in the Freeport of Riga, including the implementation of port community systems, maritime digitalization platforms, VTS, and various initiatives in port automation and environmental monitoring. I have represented Latvia in numerous European Union working groups and have been a key expert in international projects such as Interreg and HORIZON.
Within Sustainable Flow, I serve as the project strategist and coordinator from the Riga side, ensuring that the pilot port’s activities are aligned with the project’s goals and international best practices. I am responsible for high-level coordination, stakeholder engagement, and the integration of advanced IT solutions to enhance port sustainability and decarbonization. Understanding the importance and responsibility of the project, I combine my deep maritime expertise with experience in managing complex IT and digitalization projects.
I find great satisfaction in shaping the future of Baltic ports, knowing that the results of Sustainable Flow will set new standards in efficiency and sustainability.
My hobby is restoring classic cars, especially 1960s Volkswagen Beetles.
