Meet: Aušrinė Keršanskaitė

Aušrinė Keršanskaitė is a seasoned Operations leader and the Co-Founder and CEO of Operations Nation, the community-powered knowledge hub connecting startup and scaleup Operations leaders globally.
With over a decade of hands-on experience navigating the unique challenges of fast-growing startups, Aušrinė has played an instrumental role in guiding startups through their evolutionary journey from pre-seed stages to Series B and beyond.

When she’s not building the latest community benefit or championing Operations Nation members, you’ll find her reconnecting with creative pursuits like photography and music, and heading outdoors for hikes or long road trips that clear her head and spark new ideas.
