Audrius Remeikis
(Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer )

Audrius has had an interesting and varied career.  After receiving his BS in Geological Sciences from the University of Illinois at Chicago (1986), he embarked on a career with such companies as STS Consultants, Groundwater Technology, and others.  But it was his tenure with Waste Management where he excelled in training personnel, establishing communications processes, building cross-functional teams, and managing projects - - duties much more aligned with business.  Wanting to delve deeper into the business arena, Audrius earned his MBA from the Lake Forst Graduate School of Management (1995).  This proved to be the catalyst for him to launch several businesses, including opening up several cafes around Chicago’s suburbs. 

Audrius also has extensive NGO experience, working with LBGI Educational Services in the 1990s, and as a Trustee and Chariman of the Lemont Public Library District Board (an elected post).  He was also appointed as a Heritage Trail Library System Trustee.
