Physicist. Technology Executive. Builder.

I help enterprises run AI on their own terms — privately, securely, and without the chaos.

Vytenis Sakalas

Physicist turned
technology executive.

I'm a physicist turned technology executive. Fifteen years of helping businesses solve real problems with technology — from cloud infrastructure to enterprise AI.

I co-founded Moterra to give enterprises a way to run AI inside their own cloud. No data leaking to third parties. No generic answers. Just AI that actually knows your business.

Before Moterra, I led Cloud and DevOps at Skaylink (now part of Vodafone Business), worked as an Enterprise Account Executive at Microsoft, and spent four years at EY in IT risk and digital advisory.

I also lecture at Vilnius University. I believe the best AI tool is the one your team actually uses — and the riskiest one is the one they use without anyone knowing.
