From Alumni to Entrepreneurs: join our online event!

VDU

This year, the key topic of the online meetings in the informal seminar series Towards Yourself ’25 is "Business Starts with You." One of the events is the discussion "Scanning Opportunities: VMU Alumni on Startups & Entrepreneurship." During this online meeting, our international graduates traditionally share their experiences on topics such as entrepreneurship, starting a business, launching startups, and insights into career paths after graduation.

In this short article, you will get to know one of the speakers more closely and learn how the event will be useful for you and why it's worth attending.

Hüseyin Ograk, from Turkey, is an alumnus of the Marketing and International Commerce Master’s programme (2017-2019). Currently, he serves as the Head of PPC at Hostinger.

“I will share insights about Hostinger Horizons, an AI-powered platform that helps entrepreneurs, creators, students, and academics build a strong online presence and create web apps. With easy-to-use features and simple hosting, Hostinger Horizons allows you to quickly build personal blogs, online stores, or research platforms - so you can focus on your ideas and projects without the technical hassle.”

Hüseyin has remained actively involved in VMU life even after graduation, contributing to topics related to international students and alumni career paths. For example, he shared his tips and insights during the VMU Career Centre's Remote Informal Lecture Series event, "Towards Yourself '24," in March 2024, where he discussed how to master a job interview and gave tips for job-seekers. He also participated in the 2023 Alumni Day discussion, titled “Resilience and Optimism of VMU Alumni around the World,” where he spoke about “Entering the Lithuanian job market after graduation for foreign graduates.”
