Business Insights
We recently had the pleasure of meeting Stefania Ciraolo, Head of the EIB Group Office in Hungary. The EIB lent €759 million in Hungary last year – thanks to her openness, we can share how it works, what it looks for in a project, and how Hungarian developers can tap its financing.
GE trained its people on the company's own live problems and tied every course to the next career step. Former GE Hungary Dr. Farkas Bársony explains what the "GE school" gave its graduates that ACCA or an MBA cannot.
KEY MESSAGE
Hungary does not need more money. It needs more productive investment. Liquidity is abundant and banks are ready to lend. What holds companies back is a lack of confidence, predictability and a clear economic narrative. New government initiatives are improving sentiment, but confidence has not yet fully returned.
Most CEOs believe they're accessible.
Every month, for seven years, Dale A. Martin — former President & CEO of Siemens Hungary — sat down one-on-one with two employees he'd never otherwise meet.
Not his direct reports. Not division heads. Two people, pulled from deep within the organization, six months after they'd joined.
No agenda beyond two questions:
"What's the atmosphere like?"
"What can we improve in our processes?"
If we are evaluating a business, my favorite thing to do is go look for myself.
I recently visited a newly opened Lululemon store in Budapest. There was no line, no crowd — but the store manager told me revenue has been solid, so the quiet floor was more about timing than trouble. I also checked how customers are rating the store and the product: the quality gets praised consistently, but the pricing comes up just as a complaint - prices in Budapest actually run higher than in Canada, despite Eastern Europe's noticeably lower purchasing power.
The real fix has to come from North America. That's where the brand lost its edge, and that's where O'Neill will be judged.
But personal impressions only go so far — here's what the numbers say as a starting point for her:
Our Approach
At the core of our methodology is a commitment to precision and exclusivity, ensuring we deliver candidates
who are not only qualified but perfectly aligned with your strategic needs.
Customized Candidate Matching
We identify candidates that precisely meet your unique requirements, going beyond generic profiles to find the right fit for your organization’s specific goals and culture.
Transparent Progress Tracking
Stay informed with detailed updates through our comprehensive tracking board, providing clear visibility into each stage of the search process.
In-Depth Candidate Analysis
Our evaluation process delves into each candidate’s career trajectory, intrinsic motivations, and overall suitability—assessing their potential to succeed within your company environment.
Personality and Values Assessment
We do more than review resumes; we uncover the true character, motivations, values, and attitudes of each candidate. Our goal is to identify individuals with the potential to thrive and contribute meaningfully to your organization.
Exclusive Search Methodology
"For us, Executive headhunting means uncovering the hidden talent others cannot find. We avoid traditional channels such as social networks, CV databases, or job boards, and do not post job advertisements in the Executive search. Instead, we conduct diligent, targeted investigations to identify candidates with exceptional potential—those no one else can find.
