Ignas Mociunas

Data, AI, Product & Delivery Lead with 12+ years of experience in data platforms, B2B SaaS, data-as-a-product, and shaping tech organizations.


Expert in bringing structure into chaotic setups and processes, setting a strong no-BS data strategy aligned with business vision, and breaking it down into initiatives. Have systematic ways to validate if the current strategy is fluff, has major content/coverage/resource gaps, or is (mis)understood by individual contributors and partners.


Team builder with a focus on balancing team health vs. performance, while delivering successful & visible impact for the business. I always put my team first, welcome the opinions of new joiners, and make it my priority to help juniors to get up-to-speed fast and learn the skills that they would like to develop, be it in a current position or future careers elsewhere.


At the strategy level, I'm seasoned in navigating office politics to advocate cultural changes, reorgs, budgets, & financial planning, making case for modern data stack & forward-looking initiatives. Background in financial accounting as well as engineering helps me understand aligning top-down shareholder interests, and bottom-up operational capabilities with the middle management that may struggle to see the big picture across all levels. I've seen a few well-oiled tech organizations or departments, and a lot more of others, tangled in complicated processes, frustration, toxic micromanagement & burnouts. Identifying the symptoms early is the starting point.

If you'd like to pick my brain about technical, data, process, organizational, or career development topics, feel free to schedule something here or connect with me via LinkedIn. If we're in the same location - I'm always up for a coffee walk.


P.S. I shared a few books that could get you started, have a look.
