Piros Pazaurek
creative producer of the Hungarian Summit
I believe we can all make a difference and have a positive impact on the world around us.
Living in Volusia County since 2011, I founded my marketing company in 2015, leveraging my 15+ years of international marketing experience with a roster of clients in both Florida and Europe, and then launched the non-profit HungarianHub to foster networking between innovative business and community leaders from Hungary and United States.
I represent the interests of the local Hungarian communities, strengthening commercial and economic relations between Hungary and the United States of America, and promoting cultural and academic relations including tourism, internships and student trips.
I was inagurated as Honorary Consul of Hungary in Daytona Beach, Central Florida in 2019.
