Based in Hungary, she represents the growing strength of Central and Eastern European marketing talent, and her recognition by the EMC has brought significant international attention to the quality of marketing practice in the region. Her work spans brand strategy, consumer insights, and marketing leadership, and she has been instrumental in developing the marketing profession in Hungary through her contributions to the Marketing Trendbook and her work with the Hungarian marketing community. Her EMC recognition is a testament to the quality of her strategic thinking and her ability to deliver results in a complex, multi-market European environment. She is a sought-after speaker and mentor within the European marketing community.
"Marketing excellence is not the exclusive preserve of the large markets. The best ideas, the most creative strategies, and the most rigorous thinking can come from anywhere — and increasingly, they are coming from Central Europe."
