I am Mate - Máté.
I work in strategy, management and consulting.
Professionally, I am specifically interested in telco, finance and airlines, defense & security (having worked with NATO in the Balkans).
Business models, change management, projects and business intelligence.
I am experimenting, sharing thoughts and ideas here.
But I am here also to promote positive initiatives, charities, arts and ideas.
And, to support friends of mine in all possible ways, fighting a neuro-degenerative disease with a lot of strength, like Eszter
(www.smalapitvany.hu/tamogatoink.htm), who is a wonderful young lady, full of hope, faith, strength and dignity.
Can be a positive role model for anyone.
Doing these things, means much more than managing projects, investments or consulting. This is no strategy, this is real life.
