Ready in our urban style, we’re set to take the M2 line from Astoria station for a board workshop, energized by the diverse cultural scene that sparks new ideas, in the cosmopolitan, vibrant capital of Hungary, Budapest.
I am planning to attend the annual meeting at a foundation, following an invitation from the bishop, as I am the chairman of a cooperating foundation. Additionally, I am expressing my interest in joining the board in the future, as I am actively seeking to expand my board assignments.
My attire, featuring shades of blue and brown with a tie accented by legendary pink dots, reflects my unique personality and professional acumen.
I am ready to take on new assignments in board of directors roles and look forward to continuing to present applications at personal meetings with nominating committees, like the one I had today.
With nearly 15 years of experience serving on the boards of various companies across multiple industries, from those listed on the stock exchange to owner-led firms and growing enterprises, I bring a wealth of knowledge and an extensive network. My role as an active board member has encompassed a broad spectrum of activities, including capital raising, IPOs, issuing new shares, and overseeing mergers and acquisitions.
As I seek new board positions, I am enthusiastic about contributing as an active member, leveraging my significant business acumen and deep business intelligence to drive business development.
As it’s still the tail end of winter, I’ve opted for a British country style, featuring Barbour and Danish vintage.
I am dressed for a multifaceted business day, which includes attending a board meeting, producing an annual report with a design-focused approach, and delivering a corporate presentation in PowerPoint alongside a business development project plan.

With 15 years of experience and certification in board management, serving as a board member in publicly traded companies, growth businesses, and municipal committees, as well as an adjunct organizer and producer of board meetings, I have built extensive experience and knowledge. In this blog post, I present one of my top five lists to optimize board meetings and contribute as an active, engaged, and professional board member:
A. Preparation: Ensure that meeting calls are sent out well in advance, with start and end times, and classify each agenda item as informational or decision-making. Ensure that all board members have access to meeting materials and attachments at least 5 days before the meeting.
B. Agenda with Clear Structure: Create a detailed agenda with specified time frames for each item. This helps keep the meeting focused and efficient.
C. Active Participation: Invite members to prepare to contribute actively. Send out specific questions or topics for discussion in advance, so that members can prepare to provide insightful contributions.
D. Financial Overview: Always include a current liquidity forecast and relevant financial reports as part of the preparations. This ensures that all members have a clear view of the company’s financial position and that taxes are paid.
E. Follow-up: Ensure that a signed protocol from each meeting is reviewed and approved. This ensures that all decisions and actions are documented and traceable, facilitating follow-up.
In the delightful Mayfair, nestled within the unique Shepherd Market, lies my hidden gem. Positioned at the junction of Green Park and Hyde Park, it presents itself as a city within a city – a truly fabulous part indeed.
Following the last board session during my trip to London, I had the pleasure of hosting a dinner. It commenced with a roundtable talk, an engaging blend of business and leisure, before we proceeded to the meal. The chosen subject at the restaurant was to draw inspiration from Noble Rot’s business development journey.
Noble Rot itself comprises three award-winning restaurants located in London’s Bloomsbury, Soho, and Mayfair. Its inception as a magazine focusing on wine, food, and popular culture, before venturing into the restaurant business, presents a remarkable tale of evolution and diversification.
