I have experience in Corporate responsibility consultancy at an MNE (in Brussels) and as a managerial and financial advisor of a medium sized hotel. My past experience at the Structured Financing division of the Export Import Bank of Hungary enables me having a broad view on financial structures and practices in Hungary. Now I have the honour to be the founding member and president of Pact4Youth Association in Hungary (pact4youth.hu). Have a broad experience in civil society and advocacy as I’ve been working at the National Union of Students and at the Student Council of my university as well as at the European Youth Card Association as a Board member and delegate of Hungary by the Educational Authority. Attended more than 100 conferences and workshops around Europe and participated in several roundtable discussions on the topics of circular economy, labour market, education, internationalization, integration, sustainable economic growth...
