I have been working with Attila for several years in Vodafone. His a real sales person, with a great mindset for work. He is open, calm and has a great sense of humor. Experienced trainer, and people manager, to support your organizations development in terms of product knowledge, and sales or customer services practices. I recommend him for any sales or learning and development type of leadership roles.

László Podhorányi

I worked with Attila at Vodafone Hungary for several years, mainly to improve customer experience and results. His knowledge and approach to develop customer facing people (both in sales and customer care) can be extremely useful even for other industries, beyond telecommunication. Due to his strong commitment and English skills, he played major roles in key company level projects, including some globally driven change programmes.
