Hi, I'm Simas (sih-muhs)

I'm a Lithuanian-American, Chicago raised, Bay Area transplant; welcome to my website

Fast facts about me:

- I'm a Product Management Analyst at JPMorgan by day,

- content creator by night,

- and avid carrot juicer in my spare time

Here I am, cheesing, on a hill near a small village named Pedrafita do Cebreiro in Spain, during my Camino de Santiago pilgrimage last Summer (2023)

I write once a month about topics that interest me.

What will you find here?

I created this website as a form of self expression. I'm leaving a digital footprint, and broadcasting who I am by using a custom curated platform. On my site, you can expect to find my personal projects, favorite books/podcasts/music, and monthly blogs.

Who am I?

Besides being a freshly minted (part-time) carrot juicer, my background consists of graduating from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a degree in Finance. During college, I interned at JPMorgan within their newly created Innovation Development Program, ran ad strategy and data analytics at a startup, sold Tesla's, and interned at a venture capital firm. Outside of class, I ran 3 business organizations, had my own startup, and was an aspiring content creator on Instagram within the fitness niche, then the financial literacy niche, and finally, the aspiring DJ niche.

What are you doing now?

I left Chicago for the Bay Area to soak up all the innovation in Silicon Valley. I work in Palo Alto at JPMorgan as a Product Management Analyst. We're reshaping the bank's technology and operational practice. After work, I follow one of three paths - either to lift, bike, or hit the gym. I'm a simple man. I also work on researching business cases for U.S based VC's to inject capital into Lithuania's economy. Turns out, Lithuania is a hot bed for biotech & medtech investments.

I am also experimenting with the wonders of the internet and actively creating passive income projects.

What makes you feel alive?

Personal projects, just like this. Traveling with no plan or map. I thoroughly enjoy connecting with new faces and hearing about their journey, success, challenges and everything in between. Send me an email at simas.zavistauskas@gmail.com and let's chat.

French house, Russian saunas, and bench pressing all bring me deeply gratifying joy.
