Gabriel Varaljay

Sandy,LUT

Summary

After many years of corporate work, my creativity and ambitions forced me to become an entrepreneur. As a startupper, I worked with brilliant minds and talented individuals who followed my vision, and we always got things done.


I was among the first community influencers in Hungary who predicted the revolutionary effects of Twitter and Facebook. My writings are still the foundation for many subsequent studies on the subject. I was the creator of sm.mag, the first interactive iPad magazine. After studying business and culture in South Korea, I co-founded ENVIENTA and VixT, two innovative enterprises in England. These businesses are growing now without my help, so I am ready for my next challenge.


In the last decade, I've worked on digital marketing, strategic content creation and CRM system design, among other things. No challenge is too big, and no job is too small.


I'm a real team player, eager to provide thorough and skilled support to a successful organisation where efficiency and productivity are primary concerns.
