  StrategicMate

 

   I am Mate.
   I work in strategy, management and consulting.
   Professionally, I am specifically interested in telco, finance and airlines.
   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.
