'Budora' board
Donatas Imbras
Founder, board member
I always felt that my life was connected with sports, so in 1999 In Šiauliai, I started studying Physical Education and Sports Pedagogy. I completed my bachelor's and master's studies. A year and a half after graduation, I realized that my passion is karate and I founded the 'Budora' sports club in Vilnius. When I started the club, I knew I needed more challenges. I was looking for myself until I realized that I wanted to try my hand at business - the sphere of metal trading, which karate also led me to. I believe in lifelong learning, I have graduated from many universities and I am still learning. in 2019 I obtained a Master's degree in Business Administration at BMI and enrolled in a PhD in Business Administration at Lausanne Business School. And from 2019 In May, I accepted another challenge, which is also related to my current studies, I started working in an IT company, where my activities are related to the implementation of business strategies.
Viktorija Liepienė
Director, board member
I started my friendship with the "Budora" sports club 12 years ago as an athlete - I attended karate training for five years, of which I worked as a children's coach for a couple of years. Over time, I realized that I was more attracted to the administration of club activities and process management. For four years, I worked as an administrator-manager of the club and was responsible for communication with clients and educational institutions, organizing the work of coaches, company holidays, etc. As the company grew, certain positions were separated and I went from manager to event project manager. During this period, I was responsible for all events organized by the company and for coordinating the participation of our club members in other organizations' competitions. From 2019 In November, I became the Operations Manager, responsible for the operational activities and results of the club, including the work of coaches, high quality of customer service, high-quality implementation of events, communication with educational institutions.

Administracija
Dovilė Jucienė
Customer relations manager
I started my karate journey at school: karate developed will, character, gathered many like-minded people and friends. After the break, I continued karate in Budora with Donatas Imbras. Another break is raising children, and I'm back again, both in karate and in the administration of Budora. I am happy to belong to Budora's "family", to be able to communicate with club members, contribute to the organization of events, solve various issues, I like it very much! Karate is a meaningful activity that develops not only the translation and the body, but also develops the will, because first of all you defeat yourself, and only then the opponent! 😊
