My experience includes supporting service providers in token issuance, setting up a successful business in Lithuania, ensuring compliance with AML/CTF requirements and preparing for the upcoming MiCA regulation.

My primary responsibility was to coordinate international projects and collaborate with ELSA’s partners, including the Council of Europe and the International Bar Association.
