Deniss is a graduate of the Latvian Maritime Academy who, after nine years in seafaring, made the bold decision to change course and create something entirely new. He founded a cosmetics brand manufactured in Latvia, specially designed for the needs of Baltic skin, which has quickly gained recognition. At the same time, he has established himself on television shows and in social media, building an audience of more than 30,000 followers.
Deniss’s story proves that any weakness can be turned into strength. Living with ADHD, he initially struggled with self-acceptance, but today he regards it as his point of strength – a reminder that courage and perseverance form the true foundation of success.
“Do not be afraid to change direction – real victories begin where you dare to be yourself.” – Deniss Jerjomins
During the evening, Valērijs Dombrovskis, Director of the RISEBA Business Psychology bachelor’s programme, will also present his creative work – the webnovel “Gobby’s Adventure”.
The event is organised in cooperation with the RISEBA Student Council, strengthening the sense of community and creating an environment where students, alumni, and entrepreneurs can meet, share ideas, and inspire one another.
During the event, the results of the FIETE project in its Test Phase will also be presented.
