Andrius Šemeškevičius starts his role as CEO of „Litgrid“

Andrius Šemeškevičius will begin serving as the CEO of Litgrid, Lithuania’s electricity transmission system operator, on February 23. He was appointed by the Litgrid Board for a five-year term following a public selection process. A. Šemeškevičius brings extensive experience in the technology sector and has previously served as an independent member of the company’s Board.

“Following the synchronization of Lithuania’s electricity system with the continental European grid, we are placing even greater emphasis on the resilience, security, flexibility, and innovation of the energy system. Therefore, a professional with experience in both large-scale infrastructure projects and digital technologies and cybersecurity has been selected to lead this strategically important company,” says Tomas Varneckas, Chairman of the Litgrid Board.

A. Šemeškevičius has built a long-standing career in the technology field. For the past 11 years, he served as Chief Technology Officer at Telia Lietuva. Between 2023 and 2024, he was an independent member of the Litgrid Board, responsible for technology and digitalization. He holds a Master’s degree in Engineering Informatics from Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (Vilnius Tech), and has completed leadership and business development studies at Saïd Business School as well as executive education at The Wharton School.

“My experience on the Litgrid Board gave me the opportunity to closely understand this strategically important company and its team — their impact and potential are truly inspiring. During my career in the technology sector, I was also responsible for energy-related initiatives, large-scale infrastructure projects, IT, and cybersecurity solutions. I intend to apply this experience purposefully to strengthen the resilience of Lithuania’s electricity transmission system, ensure its reliable operation, develop the flexibility services market, and build an advanced, efficient, and customer-oriented organization,” says A. Šemeškevičius.

The CEO selection process was conducted in accordance with the highest standards of transparency and good governance. In the publicly announced competition, the EPSO-G Remuneration and Nomination Committee — composed mostly of independent members — assisted the Litgrid Board in cooperation with executive search firm Master Class Lietuva.

A. Šemeškevičius succeeds Rokas Masiulis, who had led the company since February 2021.
