István Herczeg, COO Managing Director - Fornetti Group
I joined Fornetti because I received the proposal in a period of my life when I was open and ready for challenges given by a new company and new environment.

He obtained his first diploma in accountancy, and the second one in finance. His first workplace is Fornetti, where he has been working in different financial fields from the year 2000. The biggest professional challenge for him is that during the development of Fornetti he has always come across even more up-to-date directions; thus there is no conventionalism, and one constantly has to measure up to new situations and requirements. Besides his work, he has managed the finances of the Public Foundation for the Public Safety of Kecskemét for three years, without any remuneration.
His hobby is line-fishing.
