About

Egils Boitmanis

Business & strategic partner

At heart and in practice, I'm an entrepreneur. I help other founders as a strategic partner — with my own experience and AI systems — at the moments when it's time to step up to a new level. We start with clarity about life and business, then turn it into a practical system together.

My story

In 2005 I started at the Skats-S advertising agency — I was 23 and trying to understand how the marketing industry works from the inside. A few years later I began offering my services as an independent consultant. In 2010 I co-founded Infinitum 8 — which grew into one of the largest digital agencies in the Baltics. My specialty has always been results — performance marketing.

In 2018 I sold my share and started a new path. I realised one element was missing — business decisions are made by a person, not a strategy. In 2020 I started coaching training, in parallel with deep study of Stoic and ancient Greek philosophy. That's where I found the word ARETE — the ancient Greek concept of highest potential. It became the foundation of my approach.

Today I work with company owners and consultants as a strategic partner. My approach works best when the decision-maker (the owner) is still inside the business day-to-day and wants to align personal goals with business goals. Only by sorting out individual goals can we better sort out the business — everyone wants higher profit, but often the real goal turns out to be fewer working hours or finding another CEO. In other words — you can't always get what you want, but if you're lucky, you'll get what you need 🙂

My work isn't giving advice. It's unlocking a person's inner potential — and the practical execution of it in business.

Areas I work in

🧭 Business decisions

I help founders and owners see what actually matters right now, what to postpone, and where to put real focus. 20+ years in business means I recognise patterns the founder can't see from the inside.

📣 Marketing and offer

20+ years in performance marketing — Infinitum 8, Google Certified Trainer. We look at whether people clearly understand what you offer, who it's for and why you specifically. Today also: how content and offers get found in AI systems (GEO).

💰 Sales and money

We look at where potential clients drop off, why people don't buy and what to improve in conversations, your offer or follow-up. The goal isn't aggressive selling — it's letting the right client realise on their own why they need exactly this.

👥 Team and accountability

Whether roles are clear, whether people actually pull things forward, and where you're still the bottleneck. Experience as Infinitum 8 founder (30+ person team) and as interim CEO/COO in other companies.

⚙️ Systems and processes

We organise the repeating work, decision rhythm, reports and simple processes — so nothing lives only in your head. Strategy has to become a system; otherwise it stays a slide deck, not a business.

🤖 AI in daily work

Practical AI integration — not theory about 'transformation', but concrete tools that work a week after deployment. ChatGPT, Claude, Lovable, n8n, Zapier. Founder of the AI Circle at LU, vibe coding approach for non-technical teams, and Lovable workshops for companies and the public sector.

Speaking and events

I've been speaking and teaching for almost 20 years — conferences, seminars, corporate events, university lecture halls, small workshops. In Latvian and English. What I enjoy most is seeing how, over those 20 years, my own perception of how to talk to a room has evolved — from PowerPoint slides full of charts to stories and conversations that people actually carry home with them.

In clients' own words

Personally

The business I run reflects the person I am. If I want to be an honest consultant, I have to be an honest father, husband, friend.

Values

Honesty
I say it like it is, not what you'd want to hear.
Ambition
Life shouldn't be small.
Humanity
Directness and respect in relationships.

Health and sports

I believe health and physical form are the foundation everything else stands on — family and business included. Over the years I've taken part in marathons, a Half IronMan and obstacle races, but more important than the medals is the principle: if the system holds in training, it holds in business too.

Family

  • Father of 3
  • Living in Riga, Latvia
  • Actively involved in my children's education and growth

Approach to life

I'm genuinely into ancient philosophy — especially Stoicism (Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Seneca) and Aristotelian ethics. I love thinking about how philosophy and personal growth help us become better — as humans and as leaders. It's not religion — it's an analytical frame for thinking clearly about yourself and your life.
