Over the past 30 years, I have led investment banking and private wealth management divisions. During this time, I’ve come to understand how the most successful corporate and private investors think—and how careful analysis, thorough preparation, and strategic planning drive their results. Yet when it comes to philanthropy or social responsibility, decisions are often made based solely on emotion.

But giving is also a form of investment—just like building a portfolio or making a capital expenditure. The only difference is that, in return, we don’t expect financial profit, but something else. Something just as valuable—social impact.

In most parts of the world, a multitude of wealth managers, private banks, law firms, tax advisors, and consulting companies already offer strategic philanthropy advisory services. In Hungary, however, this kind of support is still largely missing. I founded Impact Itiner to fill this gap and help our clients make the most of their generosity.

As individuals and organizations, we are part of the society we live in—and we share a responsibility to shape it positively, contribute to it, and give back. This belief has been a guiding principle throughout my professional and personal life. In my career, I first sought out, and later helped shape, corporate social responsibility programs. Privately, I founded the civil initiative kodoMOZI, which brings the magic of cinema to young people living in children’s homes.

Taking responsibility to the next level means turning social value creation into a vocation. That’s why I joined Péter in founding Impact Itiner. I believe that Péter’s business mindset, combined with my experience and passion for social responsibility, is the perfect combination for Impact Itiner to become more than just an advisor—it can act as a catalyst, building strong and effective bridges between donors and the organizations that deliver impact.
