My name is Béla and I was born 1966 in São Paulo, Brazil, but I grew up in Sweden, where I also made my education and military service.
I came to Hungary just after the first democratic election 1990 to make my internship and I was lucky to find IKEA, who just opened their first warehouse in Eastern Europe. IKEA was my first employer after my education. After one year as trainee at IKEA I was sent back to work in Hungary for IKEA. Because of reorganization within IKEA, I was appointed to work in Ukraine. Since we were waiting for our first child, we decided to stay in Hungary, so I had to leave IKEA
I got an employment for Ericsson in Hungary. I started a postgraduate studies in economy at the Economy University in Budapest and candidate for the position as project controller for Ericssons biggest project at that time, which I got.
My thesis for degree was “Management difficulties in Hungary for foreign (international) companies -- seen from a Swedish perspective”, where sixteen Swedish companies' in Hungary told their experiences about this subject. During the interviews, SKANSKA offered a new position in their Hungarian organisation, which I could not refuse.
At the millennium, SKANSKA in Hungary closed their construction business and kept only their property business and I was offered to work in Sweden instead. This was a good time to try my theories in practice and I started my own Hungarian consulting company. My first Client was a SKANSKA company (Skanska-Foundation Ferihegy Airport Contractors).
After 7 years with different assignments, mostly in the construction business my consultant company was merged into an energy-saving systems integrator company called HENEX (Hungarian ENergy EXperts), where I became division director for Project and Facility Management. After three years, Henex decided to outsource their Project and Facility Management from 2010.
Today (after more than 18 year in Hungary), I think I have enough experience and education to represent a foreign (international) company in Hungary and Eastern Europe as Country (Local) Manager, but I am opened to any other attractive proposal, which may fit my profile
Thank You,
