PETER BAKONYI

MBA

About myself...

I live in a wonderful family with my wife and three daughters. Basically, I work in the world of media, but I was also a senior diplomat for four years. I really like to learn, I go to some kind of school almost constantly, even as an adult. A novel always means complete relaxation and tranquility for me, and I like to experience the thrills primarily in football (soccer) stadiums, at Ferencváros and the Hungarian National Team's games. I am a believer, a Christian. I have many hobbies. One of my favorites is the study of religions, religious history, and theology, but the world of politics is not far from me either (although it is getting a little further away as time goes by...). I love sailing, shooting, hiking, watching NFL, and playing with my kids.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

MEDIA

Originally, I am a television editor, but I am also increasingly interested in online media, in which I also have many years of experience.

DIPLOMACY

For four years, I was lucky enough to lead our country's foreign representation in Melbourne, as the head of the Hungarian Consulate.

COMMUNICATION

I have been active in this area throughout my career. Sometimes I gave communication advice to companies and political actors officially, in a business-like way, other times as a hobby.

TRAINER

I also have a professional "trainer of communication" qualification as well. The degree also includes a certificate from the Interior Ministry.

VIDEO EDITING

In the world of television and film making, editing has always been my favorite. I really feel at home in the "editing room" (comfort zone...). ;)

PHOTO/VIDEO

The world of both still and moving images fascinates me. Recently, I only create things like that more as a hobby nowdays, but I have the qualification in cinematography as well.
