Although she was just a child in 1990, Ina Tamosiuniene understands the significance of energy independence. She remembers the blockades and dark streets as her country – Lithuania – became a self-governing nation. “I saw history … I saw my parents fighting for independence.”
These memories have given her day-to-day work added meaning, and last year she received the telephone call she had long been waiting for. “I heard my commissioning manager say: ‘Success – we’ve done it.’” In her work as a project manager at Siemens Energy Lithuania, Tamosiuniene had helped her country synchronise with Europe and achieve full energy independence, a momentous achievement. “As project manager, the buck stops with you.”
