Donatas Simkus, Growth Marketing and AI

"… What sets him apart is his range: he's a strategic thinker who sees the bigger picture, and he holds the business goals, and the people and relationships behind them in view at the same time. That combination made him a pleasure to collaborate with and someone I'd happily work alongside again."

"Donatas joined the ai71 website project halfway through and quickly became the person moving it forward. He gave clear, specific direction, made decisions rather than deferring them, and kept things going when the project got complicated. He is very good at taking something complex mid-flight and landing it."

"… While he may not call himself an engineer, I've seen him create incredibly sophisticated AI automations, workflows, and systems faster than I thought possible. On top of that, he's collaborative, generous with his time, and someone every cross-functional team wants to work with. Any organization would be lucky to have him."

"… He is an AI wizard in the truest sense, and our whole team learned from what he built. Resourceful, collaborative, and the kind of person you are glad to have around."

"I had the pleasure of working closely with Donatas on a complex construction AI platform, and he is one of the sharpest growth and marketing professionals I've worked with. His ability to quickly grasp deep-tech products across industries and translate them into clear, effective GTM strategies is exceptional. Donatas thinks holistically about product, market, and business, not marketing in isolation. He brings strong strategic clarity, moves fast, and consistently adds value beyond his scope. His ability to build robust, AI-driven pipelines for lead generation and awareness was one of the most impressive growth plans I've seen. Any team would benefit from having him lead growth and marketing initiatives."

"I didn't have the opportunity to work with Donatas for long, but even in a short span, his impact was unmistakable. He brought a rare combination of strategic clarity and executional precision to every conversation, distilling complex growth challenges into clear, actionable priorities. His knowledge of B2B SaaS, AI, and crypto is matched by a deep understanding of GTM strategy and data-driven marketing. Donatas doesn't just talk growth, he builds it, scales it, and optimizes it with a calm confidence that sets him apart. A real asset to any team or venture lucky enough to have him onboard."

"Donatas is a talented and ambitious Growth Marketer and an invaluable member of any team. He has the ability to fine-tune a campaign to perfection. He is an intelligent, results driven professional who really takes ownership of any project that comes his way. His work ethic is second to none and he is an absolute pleasure to work with."

"I had the pleasure of working with Donatas for nearly 3 years at parcelLab. Donatas, or Donni as we fondly call him, has truly developed into an exceptional growth hacker, thanks to his relentless drive and passion for the industry. When Donni first joined parcelLab, he demonstrated an insatiable curiosity for all things growth. He dove headfirst into various projects and was never afraid to experiment, which allowed him to gain hands-on experience in different aspects of growth. During his time at parcelLab, I have seen Donni grow in his role as the Head of Growth. He has developed a deep understanding of growth marketing and has become an expert in using data-driven strategies to achieve desired outcomes. He consistently pushes the boundaries of what is possible and identifies new opportunities to drive growth."

"… The Growth experiments were executed flawlessly and the reporting on the success/learnings of these experiments was superb. This allowed us to iterate super fast and really deliver on our objectives or course correct. He has incredible 360 knowledge on Growth and Marketing and became a resource to many on the B2B and B2C side for new initiatives. On top of all of this, he is low ego, very thoughtful and a pleasure to lead."
