Background

About Csaba Balogh

I have 9 years of experience in Project Management, and have also held roles as Product Owner, Subject Matter Expert and Mayor. Most of my experience has been with British Telecom, where I was constantly promoted due to my proactive attitude. My biggest strength is that I can easily understand and visualise complex processes. I'm mainly experienced in UI development, Data Analysis, Account Management, creating and implementing Budget Plans, Process Automation and Microsoft Excel macros. In addition to VBA, I have learnt HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python and C++ to better communicate with developers from various background. I have excellent communication skills, I'm an experienced negotiator in Hungarian and English, and am also fluent in French. As a former public figure, I can say that I can handle stress and know how to lead people even in the most difficult circumstances. I like business analysis the most in my work, and with that I can offer improvements in business strategy and customer relation management (CRM) for example. I like the right-on-time delivery approach and use several tools for planning and implementing projects. At British Telecom, I indirectly managed 60 employees around the globe, reviewing KPIs and helping sales people better achieve their goals. I trained staff in hard and soft skills, e.g. continuous improvement and agile methodologies, Microsoft Office tools, product specific training and communication techniques. As Mayor of Göd, I drove the municipality to reduce the backlog time to half, although at the same time the number of staff was reduced from 85 to 55 in 3 years. I also successfully digitised the office in 3 months, just before the pandemic. I managed to launch a new monthly newspaper, improve the quality of the municipality employees; but I also put my risk management skill in use as we had to deal with various legal obstacles, natural disasters, economic challenges, etc.
