Viktor Soós

Marquard Media Hungary

Member Profile: 
Viktor has been working for Marquard Media Hungary for 8 years in the CFO position. After spending several years working in banking industry (GE Capital) and IT sector (IBM, Tech Data) he found publishing business very interesting and complicated one as it is a factory and a sales house in one. He says he might spend the next 8 years also in magazine business – so publishing Playboy in Hungary is not the only reason...

His approach to finance has been changed during the past years; now he thinks to be more business oriented dealing with more strategic issues. Above the normal finance responsibilities he is responsible for legal and IT issues leading a team of 8 people. In addition he is very much involved with back office, especially production issues and print tenders.

Viktor is 40, married with 2 children, a 7.5 years old boy and his 5 years old sister.
