BIOGRAPHY
Currently, as the Deputy State Secretary for Technology at the Ministry for National Economy in Hungary, I'm on an exciting mission to design and implement programs that elevate the technological maturity of Hungarian companies! I'm also delving deep into research as a PhD candidate.
In the past, I had the incredible opportunity to serve the Chief Innovation Officer to the President, where I energized university-centric innovation ecosystems with bold project initiatives. As the founder of an international NGO, I championed innovation and humanitarian technology transfer. My journey also includes a dynamic role as the Deputy Chief Executive Officer for Valorisation at the Express Innovation Agency, where I transformed scientific insights into practical solutions for society.
I've held influential positions, such as the Deputy CEO for Innovation and Business Development at EAC Group, a leading multi-strategy firm in the CEE region. Between 2017 and 2021, I thrived as a diplomat for scientific and technological affairs in Tel-Aviv, launching groundbreaking projects in cybersecurity, fintech, life sciences, mobility, and the space industry. I also led startup relations at the governmental Export Promotion Agency (HEPA) and played a pivotal role in developing Budapest's municipal startup incubator and microfinance provider (BVK). At the start of my career, I worked as an employment policy expert at the Ministry for Economy and earlier with a parliamentary group..
