Klāvs Rudzītis is a web design, development and digital marketing professional from Riga, Latvia. He is at the forefront of iiGrowth’s efforts to build a new service vision with the Baltic region.
Klāvs has expertise in working with private sector clients, not-for-profit clients, and has also led a technology startup. His skills include both server-side and client-side programming, SaaS (Software as a Service) development and graphical design. He has developed solutions for international clients such as the Latvian Chamber of Commerce in the Americas, American Latvian Association, IT companies, law firms, restaurants, construction companies, manufacturers, car dealerships, travel agencies, insurance brokers, as well as advertising and PR agencies.
Klāvs is a final year student studying Business Administration at School of Business Administration “Turiba” in Riga. He is fluent in English and Latvian.
In 2011 Klāvs along with his partner developed a business idea as well as a business plan to develop an anti-plagiarism software for all higher and academic education institutions in Latvia. They participated in a business plan contest organized by “Latvijas Hipotēku un Zemes Banka”, and were one of the winners. Klāvs made contacts with many business consultants, deans of local universities, as well as government officials working at the Ministry of Education and Science of Latvia.
Although government officials and board members of several universities were interested in the idea, the newly-established company has not yet attracted funding. There is still hope to get things running in the future.
Every once in a while Klāvs travels to the United States to establish contacts with American IT and web design professionals and companies, and is going to participate in an industry conference this summer.
In the next few months Klāvs is going to participate in establishing iiGrowth’s subsidiary in Riga.
