Profile bio

About Aivaras Bakanas

I am a positive thinker and active problem solver with a strong ownership attitude in everything I do. I constantly invest into knowledge by reading and learning from practices of inspiring and successful people. I am result driven leader who knows that the best result can only be achieved by a strong team, so I pay a lot of attention to people around me. I started my sales career 16 years ago in distribution field, working with big brands like ASUS, SEAGATE, LG and others. It gave me an opportunity to learn about international business strategy, import and export, pricing and stock handling strategies, planning, branding etc. I’ve developed good networking, negotiating and team building skills while travelling around the world. I joined Deeper as a sales director at the stage of product prototype production and built a sales strategy and whole sales team, which has resulted in increasing Deeper’s turnover from 0 to 10 mln. EUR in 5 years. Company has grown from 5 to 60+ professionals and is exporting to over 50 countries Worldwide. I am a result oriented person who needs to see the meaning in my job, that’s why I joined Millo Appliances team.Millo Appliances started in 2017 as a foodtech startup with a mission to inspire the global community to adopt a healthier and more sustainable diet by developing innovative solutions for simple, enjoyable food preparation. Our first product is MILLO ONE, the world's smartest, quietest and safest portable blender, designed to fit our busy lifestyles. MILLO is cordless, fully portable, and controlled by simply touching its surface or via its own smartphone app. Its unparalleled magnetic brushless engine technology, called Magnetic Air Drive (MAD), makes it quieter than the average blender. Inspired by minimalist design, MILLO is rather a smart gadget than a usual kitchen appliance.

Listed skills include Product Management, Business Planning, Product Marketing, Business Strategy, and 46 others.
