Gergely LAZAR

Country Manager - Balkans

Originally from Hungary, Gergely Lázár has a multitude of experience of living and working abroad. He currently works in Hungary as an AP Accountant for TCS.
"AIESEC is like my school. I have tons of experience as a volunteer all around the world. Besides this, I contributed as a manager, conducted more than a hundred interviews for incoming volunteers. I have also faced many challenges and had a lot of lessons which formed my personality. I did not fulfill any Presidents’ role anywhere, yet I know what it takes. With my knowledge-sharing ability, I can fulfill the requirements. Enjoying diversity is the value I cherish a lot, because I support multiculturalism. What matters most is that you can understand me and you can complete the task. Living this value, I could be promoted at work and got the "Employee of the month" award. I am very grateful for AIESEC, because without it, I would not be the same person. Once an AIESEC-er, always an AIESEC-er."
