At International Business School, nothing makes us prouder than seeing our alumni thrive, and few embody that spirit better than Eszter Bánhidi, who now holds the prestigious roles of Head of HR for Hungary and VP of HR for the Top Line and Central Europe at Danone.

We recently had the privilege of sitting down with Eszter for an inspiring conversation that highlighted how personal growth and professional success go hand in hand. Reflecting on her journey, she spoke about how her time at IBS shaped the foundation of her career. “The hands-on, practical approach at IBS gave me the confidence and tools to step into the business world with purpose,” she shared.

Eszter’s career is a testament to the power of mindset shifts and intentional growth. She emphasized the importance of consciously building your path, staying open to change, and daring to think globally. Her international perspective and ability to lead with empathy have helped her climb the corporate ladder and create meaningful impact along the way.

Her story is more than a personal success, it’s a reminder to all current and future students: this could be you. Whether you’re just beginning your studies or thinking about your next step, Eszter’s journey proves that with the right mindset and education, anything is possible.
