Is there any quotation you can most relate to?
“- Are you a tourist or a traveller?
-If you’re not doing something new, you’re doing something you’ve done before. If you’re not taking local transport, you’re taking Western-style transport. If you’re not using the local language (or hand gestures and phrasebooks), you’re probably speaking with professional guides and concierges. If you’re not staying in places with local standards, you’re staying in places with Western standards. If you’re not eating local food, you’re probably eating food you know from home. If you’re not using the local toilets, you’re using Western ones. The creature comforts (and language) of Western life are now available virtually everywhere, and if you don’t go on a creature-comfort diet, you’ll be getting a Disneyfied view of the place you’re trying to see. It’s often the inconvenient and uncomfortable elements that give travel its extra dimension, and separate the Sphinx in Las Vegas from the one in Egypt, the gondola ride in the Epcot Center from the one in Venice –and the tourists from the travellers.”

What do you do at i-Tango?
As the Managing Director my goal is to develop an organization, which can satisfy both clients and professional needs.

What was your way to i-Tango?
After working at Pannon GSM where I got involved in several organizational, business and IT development projects for almost 10 years, I became partner at Stratis IT Management Consultancy where I was responsible for coordinating private sector sales activities. I was seeking for change as always, which finally came with the help of a true friendship. Our relationship with Rita has been the finest blend between formal and informal. Knowing her helped me have a go at starting i-Tango.

How do you usually avoid boredom?
Boredom does not exist in my vocabulary.
I am surrounded by people who live their lives in a similar way and find it impossible to stop. Apparently this drives me forward. I’m sure there will be time when I am not in the company of my two children and my dog. Then I’d like to continue travelling, mountaineering, photography, listen to even more music, and glance at beautiful ladies.

Anything you’d share from your bucket list?
Travel around the world
Once I get old I want to run a mountain hut in the Dolomites

“In the end these things matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?”
Gautama Buddha

What do you do at i-Tango?
I am one of the founders of i-Tango. I think I have covered every possible role in the firm, so I could be called VP of Misc. Stuff. Probably the best position I have here is”inspiring and being inspired by my business partner Pölö (László Papp)”J.
Officially, I am an Account Executive so I’m responsible for sales and the retention of our clients in Hungary and Bulgaria. As a sales executive I believe in win-win sales which means that my responsibility is not only to supply the product solution, but to make sure that the buyer will successfully manage all of the necessary internal decisions and create minimal disruption as they adopt it.

What was your way to i-Tango?
After university studies I had two children. As a mother I was looking for an “easy” job so I started as a manager assistant in an IT consulting firm. Luckily, the company was the distributor of Gartner services: I soon rose to become an Account Executive and I have held that position ever since.
i-Tango is a new incarnation of the same service. This is a real team where we all work hard for success but also look after each other and have lots of fun together. Clients appreciate our professionalism and the ease of working with us.

 
How do you usually avoid boredom?
When I read teachings on emptiness I realized I did not have any excuse to be bored because I was creating my own reality through conceptual imputation – and there is nothing boring about an act of creation that cosmic. The mind’s power to create is infinite. Therefore, instead of being bored I am frustrated J.

Anything you’d share from your bucket list?
I’d like to find a level of satisfaction with being more relaxed and to have more patience in my home life.
Participate more in Voluntary work.
Smile more – smile now! 🙂
Express more love to the things that matter to me: friends and family, the natural world and last but not least, food!
