Bio
Robert Banhegyi
I have had the pleasure of working under Stephen Bosco for the past year. During that time, I saw him as a proactive, ambitious, committed and broadminded perfectionist. Bosco leads by example, and during my time at Dark Slope, I and many others found his enthusiasm and ambition both inspiring and motivating. Bosco is a director who is passionate about his work and is a great leader. He is a director who is always thinking about the future and how to make the best experiences possible, both in terms of the final product, and team morale. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work under Bosco and I look forward to seeing him continue to do great things in the future.
