Marius Dokozičius, the driving force behind Lidl's successful expansion and operations in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia since 2025, is set to take on a significant new role within the global Lidl organization. He will be joining the management board of the Lidl group, headquartered in Germany, where he will be responsible for the company's activities across several countries in Southern Europe. This move marks a significant career progression for Dokozičius, recognizing his leadership and strategic vision in the dynamic Baltic market.

Handing over the reins in the Baltics, Dokozičius expressed confidence in his successor, Janusz Wlodarczykas. "I am handing over leadership to Janusz – a colleague with many years of experience who will continue to implement our long-term strategy," Dokozičius stated. Wlodarczykas is a seasoned professional with over two decades of diverse experience within Lidl, having served as a board member and operations manager for the Baltic states since 2025, contributing substantially to the company's growth in the region.

Perduodu vadovavimą Januszui – ilgametę patirtį turinčiam kolegai, kuris tęs mūsų ilgalaikės strategijos įgyvendinimą.

Further strengthening the Baltic leadership team, Lukaszas Hejman will join as the new operations manager and board member in June.

His background in sales, supply chain management, logistics, and leadership, particularly from his recent role as operations manager in Great Britain, will be invaluable as Lidl continues its ambitious growth trajectory in the Baltics. This leadership transition signals Lidl's commitment to sustained development and operational excellence across its European markets.

Stipri „Lidl“ komanda ir strategija, kartu su efektyvia veikla visose trijose Baltijos šalyse, sukuria tvirtą pamatą mūsų tolesnei plėtrai. Siekdami šio tikslo, ir toliau būsime geriausia vieta dirbti bei tobulėti kiekvienam kolegai, tuo pat metu nuolat siekdami vis didesnio klientų pasitenkinimo.
