Exploring Career Paths with BritCham Academy & ISR

Today at the International School of Riga’s Career Talks, organised in collaboration with BritCham Academy, students had the opportunity to engage with industry professionals Justīne Ignatavičute, Head of Capital Markets at Eversheds Sutherland Bitāns, and Toms Zeltiņš, CEO of GP Nord.

Justīne shared her journey from competitive tennis aspirations to earning law degrees at the University of Kent and UCL, ultimately becoming a legal expert in Latvia. Toms provided insights into his entrepreneurial path, from studying Politics at Riga Stradiņš University, working in the UK, and now leading GP Nord, a company specialising in the distribution of hard-to-get pharmaceuticals in Latvia.

A huge thank you to ISR for the excellent cooperation and for hosting this inspiring session, as well as to Justīne and Toms for sharing their valuable insights and experiences with the students.

This session is part of BritCham Academy’s commitment to bridging education and industry, providing ISR students with first-hand exposure to global career perspectives.
