Chief Executive Officer at Oxylabs
We see lifelong learning as highly important in an innovation-driven digital economy, and strive to foster it wherever feasible.
Internal opportunities for Oxylabs employees to learn and grow
External opportunities for learning and development in the digital data society
Collaborating with academics, NGOs, communities, and public institutions by providing free know-how, tools, and infrastructure
As an industry leader, we strive to be at the forefront of innovation, inspiring not just cutting-edge technology but also an ethical approach to web data acquisition.
Serving the industry with relevant technological research and innovation
Developing and patenting cutting-edge web scraping solutions
Providing highly-reliable infrastructure to ensure our clients' needs
As climate change is the biggest threat to the planet now, we are joining forces with others to team up and stop devastating outcomes.
Accounting for GHG emissions and starting to implement reduction plans throughout all three GHG scope areas
Switching to renewable energy sources where possible
Consuming responsibly, saving resources, and reducing waste
We invite colleagues from similar professional fields to attend regular meetings for discussions, knowledge sharing, and advice. We also organize a series of regular events called Big Tech Energy to discuss the latest technologies, various challenges, and discoveries in our daily work and the global engineering community.
Oxylabs encourages women to try out IT and engineering careers. We are partners of Women Go Tech to facilitate opportunities for women to acquire technical skills and knowledge and develop their careers in IT, engineering, and other tech-related roles.
Each year, OxyCon connects top industry experts from across the globe, providing a platform for them to explore the most pressing issues and advancements in public data acquisition. Coming from different industries and backgrounds, web scraping experts share their experiences and answer the most pressing questions.
Through its pro bono initiative "Project 4β", Oxylabs actively supports data-driven academic and investigative research, dedicated to important social questions and missions. Oxylabs provides its "4β" partners — academic institutions, individual researchers, and non-profit organizations — with the know-how, infrastructure, and resources.
We have collaborated with i2Coalition to establish the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (EWDCI) and build public trust in the data acquisition industry and its practices. The EWDCI serves as the voice of the industry, promoting ethical guidelines, and helping businesses make informed data aggregation choices.
Oxylabs collaborates with the AI & ML Advisory Board, which reaffirms our commitment to innovation and provides expertise and guidance on new technology developments. The Board comprises leading figures in the machine learning, AI, and data science industries, most of whom have experience working for highly reputable organizations, such as NASA, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and UCL.
As an industry leader, we are committed to a security-first mindset, bringing it to the forefront of our operations, client relations, and innovation efforts. To strengthen our stance on cybersecurity and share expertise with the wider tech community, we have joined the European Cyber Security Organization (ESCO), Global Cyber Alliance, and Information Systems Security Association.
In 2024, Oxylabs continued to invest in R&D and protect its technology through patent applications. Our patent portfolio increased by 29 granted patents and now consists of 100+ patents globally. Newly issued patents cover systems that allow improved generation of web requests for scraping.
Oxylabs remains committed to the international goal of keeping the global average temperature increase to less than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and mitigating the negative impacts of climate change.
We are calculating our GHG emissions in scope 1, 2, and 3 according to the methodology of the internationally recognised Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard. We are taking various actions to reduce our carbon footprint and we will continue implementing the carbon footprint reduction strategy.
Three years in a row we made voluntary climate contributions, which partially covered our generated GHG emissions. We believe, however, that the most important goal for the company is to find ways to reduce its own emissions. Before we can enable such decarbonisation plans we invest in carbon emission reduction projects. As carbon removal will play an essential role in reaching global climate targets, we chose to support the nature-based project in Peru as it prevents deforestation in Peru's most biodiverse Amazon rainforests.
We actively support external climate action by forming partnerships with governmental and nongovernmental organizations protecting the environment. In 2024, we maintained existing partnerships while also initiating new ones. The organizations we worked with include Hold.Earth, Gyvi-gali, Myliu Miska and the Environmental Protection Department of Lithuania. We’ve also participated in two forest planting initiatives, planting more than 1500 trees during them.
Oxylabs headquarters in Vilnius (Lithuania) are based in the Cyber City, a brand new office building complex that has revitalized an underutilized city district. In 2024 the BREEAM post construction certification process was completed at Cyber City and the "Excellent" rating was received. BREEAM assesses the sustainability of a building based on factors such as energy, innovation, water, materials, and more.
The Cyber City office is 100% powered by renewable energy and has other various features which help reduce energy consumption and achieve energy efficiency.
