"True leadership, unfailing positive energy, continuous innovation, living every day according to your values. These were my first thoughts after I met with him for the first time. His honest approach towards people and unconditional support is contributing to the growth of AIESEC Hungary since its foundation. That’s how we all know Csé."

- Tamas Mihalovits,
President, AIESEC Hungary

Turkey, 2007 - Csé is known as a person who bases the relationships he has with people on his natural, co-operative and values driven style. Rightly so. Csé’s biography tells stories of firsts – whether as one of the founding members and being the second president of AIESEC in Hungary, or as the first person to establish a fitness and squash centre in Hungary, or as in several other entrepreneurial ventures over the last 25 years.

During his time as an active AIESEC member he not only ensured AIESEC’s independence as legal entity from the Socialist Youth Organization in Hungary, but he also developed the competencies he later employed in his career on an internship in Austria and as the OCP of the first international seminar in Hungary, which won the ‘Seminar of the Year’-award in that term. Once he pioneered AIESEC in his country, Csé made it a point to be in touch with practically all MC teams, mentoring members, training at national and local, as well as some international conferences, and to donate part of his personal income tax to AIESEC in Hungary. As a member of the AIESEC in Hungary Strategic Advisory Group, he uses his professional network to create vital connections to companies and other organizations.

Csé seeks engagement as alumni also for the benefit of the alumni network: he is a member of AIESEC Alumni International, and participated in the creation of the Budapest declaration of AAI in 2006. Csé’s professional career is equally based on co-operation and values. Currently he is an external consultant to the Hungarian Government to achieve less hierarchy, more transparency, and a fresh organizational culture through a set of key changes. It might be another one of his “firsts” that drive change in society.
