With more than 20 years of experience in the financial sector, he will continue his work as Head of the Group's Treasury Department in parallel. "By joining the Capitalica Management Board, I will focus my experience and energy on one of the company's most important goals - ensuring long-term, stable returns for investors. The team has already proven to be one of the leading asset management companies in the Baltic region in the field of commercial real estate investments, and my experience of over 20 years in corporate banking will strengthen the Board's competences in the development of the existing fund positions as well as in the new private debt fund," says Mr Aukšciunas.
