"What initially attracted me to the field of Events and Marketing was the combination of strategic thinking, creativity, and direct interaction with people. I am interested in creating meaningful experiences that go beyond flawless execution and leave a real impact on participants. Throughout my professional journey in the fields of culture and education, and now at KPMG, what continues to motivate me is the ability to coordinate different teams and requirements in an effective and meaningful way.
At KPMG, I have had the opportunity to work on highly demanding and complex projects, which has significantly contributed to my professional growth. What stands out to me the most is the culture of collaboration and trust. Even though the pace is demanding, there is a genuine willingness to support one another, share knowledge, and work collectively to achieve a high-quality outcome.
Behind every successful event, there is a large coordination mechanism that usually remains invisible to the audience. Managing multiple parallel tasks, maintaining constant communication with partners, suppliers, sponsors, and speakers, as well as being able to anticipate potential issues before they arise, are all critical elements of success. I consider it very important to work with consistency, attention to detail, and a clear structure, especially when managing competing priorities and tight deadlines.
In practice, I always try to think proactively - identifying potential risks early and ensuring that alternative solutions are in place before pressure builds within the team or impacts the participants’ experience. I believe that reliability is built through consistency and preparation, particularly in an environment that requires quick decision-making and a high level of professionalism.
For me, doing your job well means creating an outcome that inspires trust in the people around you. That is also what I value most about KPMG: the collective commitment to quality, professionalism, and continuous growth."
