I had an unusual start at university — my first year was in Medicine. Soon I discovered my path was elsewhere, and I pivoted into Industrial Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona. That early change shaped how I approach challenges today: with curiosity, adaptability, and a strong analytical mindset.

After graduating, I stepped straight into the world of ERP, working with Microsoft Dynamics AX (2009, 2012) and evolving alongside the ecosystem into what is now Dynamics 365. From the beginning, I was fortunate to go beyond pure ERP implementation — combining functional and technical work with Business Intelligence, systems architecture, and later, data and AI-driven solutions.

Today, I lead the technical department at a Microsoft partner consultancy, where I’m responsible for architecture, development standards, and innovation across projects involving Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Power Platform, Azure, and AI. My role sits at the intersection of technology, people, and strategy: designing scalable solutions while helping teams grow technically and professionally.

One of the most meaningful parts of my job is mentoring. I was lucky to have people who invested in my growth early in my career, and now I strive to do the same for others. Watching a colleague take their first independent “step” — solving a problem, leading a feature, making a design decision — is one of the most rewarding moments in my day-to-day work.

Beyond delivery, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge through talks, technical content, and community initiatives, especially around applied AI in business applications. I strongly believe that technology creates real impact only when it empowers people — both users and the professionals building the solutions.

Frank Berenyi is a Maine-based entrepreneur and former competitive athlete with experience leading ventures across martial arts, hospitality, real estate, and cannabis retail. His perspective is grounded in a career of entering demanding fields, learning their dynamics, and building operations that endure.

Athletics came first. He competed in soccer and wrestling in his youth and trained in kickboxing and jiu-jitsu in his early teens before opening his own martial arts school as a young adult. Running it required managing students, maintaining a facility, and building a reputation while competing at a high level, where he became known for consistency and discipline. He paired this with study in business operations, management, and strategic growth.

He went on to operate multiple bars and nightlife venues across Maine, balancing careful staffing and disciplined financial oversight while running each venue as its own operation. The work moved him from individual performance to organizational leadership, building teams and the structures that let a business run without the owner present at all times. He also entered real estate, repositioning undervalued properties and building an owned-asset portfolio.

His most significant undertaking is Marijuanaville, a cannabis retail venture he founded and grew into a network of locations across the state, with the goal of broadening access to medical cannabis in Maine through affordability and a wider base of patients.

Beyond business, Frank Berenyi contributes consistently to shelters, nonprofit organizations, and community initiatives focused on housing and basic resources, and remains active in business development, real estate investment, and operational strategy.

Cybersecurity has afforded me a front and leading role in transforming organizations as they adopt new technologies. It's been as much about architecture, business cases, up-skilling, and reorganizing as it has been about safeguards, compliance, and governance.

It takes more than technical training or even leadership (both important); it also takes making sure that the people who are learning the skills know where they need to be on day 1 of "go live".

Building the operating picture and orienting the organization for it is my role.
