I am Vice-Rector for Research at Budapest University of Economics and Business, an Associate Professor at the Faculty of International Business, and Chair of the University’s Ethics Committee. As Vice-Rector for Research, I am responsible for research activities, the operation of the University Library, student talent development, and the development of international research partnerships and projects.
I graduated from the University of Miskolc with a degree in Business Administration. During my university studies, I completed a programme at the European Business School in Germany. I pursued my PhD studies at the University of Miskolc’s Doctoral School of Enterprise Theory and Practice and spent a research year at the Institute for Business Ethics at the University of St. Gallen (HSG). My doctoral dissertation was entitled “The Ethical Sensitivity of Hungarian Companies”. I also qualified as an accredited consultant in the German Centre for Business Ethics’ Values Management System. I completed my habilitation at the Doctoral School of Management and Organisational Sciences at Kaposvár University, with a thesis entitled “The Characteristics of Codes of Ethics and Their Integration into Practice in Large Companies in Hungary”.
I have been teaching at Budapest University of Economics and Business since July 2017. I currently teach Responsible and Sustainable Company, Sustainable Strategies and Practices, Sustainable and Responsible Business Management, and Responsible Management.

My consulting work focuses primarily on business ethics and sustainability. From 2007 to 2019, I served as independent Chair of the MOL Group’s Ethics Council.
