    When I was headhunted for this position, what the company had was a bad reputation and several loss-making contracts; and what it didn't have was an efficient technical background and a team of experts. It was virtually on the verge of bankruptcy in the midst of the economic crisis. I said to myself: We have three years to turn this company around. If we are successful, hopefully, an international company would become interested in EPA Media and purchase it. And that's exactly what happened.Responsibilities:- Managing the company’s Sales, Marketing and PR department (ca. 60 employees) after the merger of several companies - Taking part in decision-making processes involving cost and revenue- Crisis management * Building the company’s IT infrastructure Re-engineering the business processes * Defining the organizational structure, including roles and responsibilities * Renegotiating deals and contracts * Actively participating in due diligence and negotiation when selling EpamediaKey achievements:- Restoring market leader position and reputation of the company - Doing a successful business turnaround from -2 B HUF loss to +0,4 B HUF PAT company within 3 years- After transforming Epamedia into a stable, profitable company, it was successfully purchased by Decaux
