Kornel Nemeth

My career started in 2004 in sales and promotion with different electrical retail groups. From 2008 I developed my people management and B2C-sales skills while working at Euronics as a store manager. From 2009 I worked as a Retail-FMCG Area Sales Manager for ALDI Hungary, responsible for over 100 employees. In 2013, I was promoted to the position of Logistics Director for ALDI Hungary, responsible for the logistics processes with 400+ employees in Hungary and reporting directly to the Country Managing Director. In this role I focused a lot of my energy on improving staff satisfaction levels by investing in staff and providing processes for their development. This focus led to improvement in my leadership skills, particularly, leading successful turnarounds, building high-performing teams and executing new strategies. In 2017, after my second promotion, I became Director of Sales and Store operations, responsible for over 900 sales staff. I have a good track record of responding proactively to change, E.g. adapting to systemic changes in the Hungarian employment market and new technology for national recruitment campaigns. In 2019, I started at ROSSMANN Hungary as an Executive Member of Board. I was responsible for Human Resources, for Logistics processes, for internal Audit and for Finance. In 2020, I was promoted to the position of Co-Managing Director, responsible for the same areas. In summary, my previous experience has developed my keen interest in change and turnaround management. I believe that the key to long-term success in our quickly changing world is clear and open communication, defining clear and attainable goals with feed-back loops and managing workplace disputes between people or parts of the company. I have spent 3,5 years studying and working abroad, in Germany, England and Austria, where I have gained knowledge of managing divergent social and cultural backgrounds.
