About Laszlo Budai

During almost my whole career I have been working in various leading positions in the service sector at large enterprises, especially in transportation branch. As a result I have gained a solid work experience which is based on my transportation engineering degree and business management (MBA) training. Some part of my career is related to the management of purchasing area therefore I have expanded my knowledge base with purchasing managerial studies. Currently I am looking for a new challenge in which I can not only utilize all of my knowledge in transportation, vehicle operating, -maintenance, and purchasing areas, but to further expand them.With 16 years of management experience I always succeeded in organizing a team and structure that could provide maximum performance based on true teamwork with qualified personnel and with proper definition of responsibilities and work competence. Meeting the new challenges and aims are motivating me the most, to which I can provide the necessary analysis of situation, compilation of action plan, as well as starting a whole new system from creating its regulations until the necessary optimization process based on the given feedback, at high standards by converting my theoretical studies into practice.
