Background

About Julius Norkunas

I’m an aviation and tech executive with over 15 years of experience in the startup ecosystem — from founding and scaling companies to coaching founders and serving as a board member. My work spans global expansion, revenue acceleration, and corporate venture strategies across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and North America. As CEO of Aeroclass.org, I lead a global aviation training platform delivering next-generation digital learning to top airlines, airports, and civil aviation authorities. Under my leadership, we've achieved 5x revenue growth, built a trusted instructor network, and participated in international aviation policy forums and ICAO initiatives. At Digital Aero Technologies, I oversee a portfolio of 10 aviation-tech startups — focusing on growth, revenue generation, CVC, and strategic hiring. I actively lead workshops on data-driven sales, perform market analysis, and manage investor relations to drive sustainable venture growth. My background includes deep involvement in mobility innovation, corporate innovation, and national-level technology leadership in fintech, blockchain, IoT, and foreign direct investment. I’ve helped attract world-leading tech companies to Lithuania and coached startups on scaling globally. I’m a regular speaker at international conferences, sharing insights on aviation training, startup growth, and digital transformation. I’m passionate about turning ideas into sustainable ventures and helping organizations stay ahead through innovation. Always open to board opportunities, advisory roles, or speaking engagements that bridge tech, aviation, and scalable business.
