Dóra Jánosi – founder, senior transaction advisor

 

I've sat on both sides of the negotiating table. I worked for fifteen years at OTP Bank, where I led the Project Finance and Special Transactions Department, responsible for high-value project financing transactions at the bank. Subsequently, at Hiventures, one of Central and Eastern Europe's largest and most active venture capital fund managers, our team invested in innovative, high-growth potential, well-scalable Hungarian businesses in incubation, seed, and growth stages.

My broad domestic and regional banking and investor network have given me a unique understanding of these market players, their risk-taking and customer qualification methodologies, and their expectations and decision criteria towards companies. 

 

Over the past two decades, I have worked with businesses across industries facing complex financial circumstances to secure optimal financing and to develop growth strategies and crisis management methodologies.
