A Bit About Me

They call me Mr. International. I grew up in Hungary, but came a long way since then, having lived in the United States, Colombia, Mexico and traveling to 30 countries all over the world. I managed to pick up a few languages on the way, so I speak fluent English, Spanish, Hungarian (obviously) and Portuguese. In my free time I enjoy reading, traveling, working out, cooking, learning languages.

On the professional side, I have been in marketing since 2010, starting out in brand marketing but quickly moving to email marketing, which I consider my passion. I am most excited to help e-commerce businesses with building and optimizing their email marketing strategy and system, spending most of my time in the thick of email automations, segmentations, integrations and everything email marketing is capable of. Over the years, I worked with over 150 e-commerce brands helping them with their email marketing.

I became one of Upworks top-rated email marketing experts, with over 110 projects on the platform with a 100% success rate.

I am certified in email marketing by Klaviyo, which is to this day my favorite tool hands down.

Work Experience

July 2016 - Today

Sep 2012 - June 2016

Since 2016, I have been reaching new levels as an email marketing expert, becoming a Top Rated freelancer on Upwork with a 100% success rate, consulting for multiple marketing agencies as an email marketing expert while at the same time partnering up with my brother-in-law to run a small agency on our own. My main focus has been helping e-commerce brands launch, manage and optimize their email marketing strategy including email automations, campaign management, A/B testing, list segmentations, email design and integrations.

During these 4 years I was a Sales & Marketing consultant for a Seattle based tech startup while at the same timing launching my freelancer career specialized in email marketing. My journey lead from learning a few platforms to pretty much being comfortable using all kinds of email marketing platforms on the market. During these years I discovered Upwork and dipped my toes into small project for companies and gradually developing my skills/experience with more and more short and long term projects.

March 2008 - August 2012

I started my journey working to multinational companies in Europe with a short stint in finance, then quickly switching over to brand marketing. I realized pretty fast that the corporate structure was not meant for me, so while I cherished the experience of working in this environment, I saw a different path for my career.
