I’m a psychologist and a global innovation consultant, the CEO and Founder of Be-novative, a Design Thinking based idea management platform.

I researched for about 8 years how to enhance both individual and group creativity and with my findings and prototype, I won the global impact competition of Singularity University for Central Eastern Europe. Through the Silicon Valley-based Singularity University, I could directly learn Design Thinking techniques from IDEO and Lean startup methods from Eric Ries himself.

I wrote articles about the future of innovation and education and why collective creativity will contribute to breakthrough products and services, and how it strengthens our self-esteem and drives a happier and higher quality of life. I implemented +500 Open Innovation projects and taught innovation courses across the globe on six continents, and have supported the OECD to involve thousands of people in designing more inclusive societies.

I graduated as a psychologist in 2009 from the University of Budapest, the University of Copenhagen, and Singularity University.
