Giedrius Balbierius

I’ve always believed that entrepreneurship is not just about building companies - it’s about building meaning. My journey has taken me across industries, borders, and disciplines, but at its core, it’s always been about creating something lasting: something that benefits others, holds integrity, and grows from a place of purpose.

My early career was shaped by a relentless curiosity and a passion for structure. I’ve led and advised businesses across sustainable forestry, renewable energy, longevity and healthcare, and art commerce, gaining hands-on experience in executive management, market strategy, mergers and acquisitions, and investor relations. Working closely with both private and public sector ventures, I’ve helped shape growth strategies, develop innovative business models, and forge partnerships with international investors, including U.S.-based private equity and venture capital funds. Many of the ventures I’ve supported have gone on to scale successfully, while others became catalysts for entirely new categories of impact-driven innovation.

But as the years passed, I began to ask myself different questions - not only about profit and success, but about significance. What does it mean to build something that matters beyond a balance sheet? How can we align economic innovation with human values, with culture, and with spirit?

That search led to the founding of HOLYDEEDS - a platform created not just to innovate, but to uplift. Together with a small group of committed partners, we envisioned HOLYDEEDS as a space where faith, technology, and generosity could converge. A space where good deeds could be shared, spiritual art could be preserved, and charitable action could become immediate, transparent, and joyful - especially for younger generations seeking purpose in a digital world.

As Senior Vice President for Strategic Partnerships, I now focus on expanding HOLYDEEDS’ global network - building trusted relationships with religious institutions, philanthropic foundations, cultural leaders, and impact-driven investors. My role is to create alignment - between mission and opportunity, between tradition and technology, between vision and reality.

This work draws upon everything I’ve done before, but it’s also something entirely new: a kind of synthesis between my entrepreneurial past and my spiritual present. I’ve always believed that the most important things we build are the ones we can’t measure in quarterly reports - trust, meaning, hope, legacy.

Alongside HOLYDEEDS, I remain committed to initiatives that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals and that foster ethical innovation across art, trade, and financial access. I’m passionate about using emerging technologies to protect sacred culture and to empower people to act compassionately at scale - not as a campaign, but as a way of life.

MY PERSONAL LIFE

At the end of the day, I’m a husband and father before anything else. I live with my wife and daughter in a quiet town surrounded by forests and lakes - a place that keeps me rooted and reminds me daily what truly matters. Nature offers me perspective, and my family gives me purpose. They are the reason I choose to build with care, to think long-term, and to lead from the heart.
