Working with Darius has truly been a pleasure. Indeed, Darius is a very autonomous being which is not reluctant to putting long hours in a project (our Master Thesis) in order to reach success. His belief that sustainability should be at the core of any modern business' strategy has definitely fueled our team with the dynamism needed to complete our thesis. Moreover, Darius' multidimensional background (studies, countries and so on) has made working with Darius both easy and interesting since it often provided him with a different perspective on problems we were facing.

      I was hired by PemaPeople, but my day to day work place was at Whirlpool Sweden in Norrköping.

      • Aug 2005 - Apr 2010

      An entrepreneurial mindset led to one of the greatest professional ventures in my life: reinventing the Liquefied Petroleum Gas auto market in Sweden. After the competitive and market analysis, I, together with my team, established channels of communication with Prins Autogassystemen B.V. (The Netherlands). The result was that we successfully brought LPG and CNG convertible kits to Sweden, which nowadays are used in Volvo automobiles as OEM. This led to us developing LPG station infrastructure in Sweden with a result of a significant growth in LPG filling stations by more than 60%. We also established business partnership with Stako Poland for supply of LPG tanks, came to a successful agreement with Norway Prins Autogassystemen B.V importers for partnering in customer service. As the founder of the business, I worked on a variety tasks: from creating a strategy for revenue growth, generating new opportunities, and executing change management; to outsourcing services, and network and participate in conferences to find new customers and partners. Due to an effective strategy of networking, I developed business relations with such companies as E-on Gas, Saab Automobiles, Power Train in Södertälje and others. Show less
