A Senior BI Consultant with an extensive educational background in Data Visualization and Data Science. I’m passionate about Power BI and Data Visualization, and I’m lucky to call that my profession.
I believe community is key in personal and professional development, thus I find joy in mentoring and coaching the next generation of data wizards, and taking active role in the Hungarian Power BI User Group as well.

Data Storytelling vs. Data Truth: When Narrative and Integrity Collide
Data tells stories. But stories have heroes, villains, and a point — and data, on its own, has none of those. Someone has to shape it into stories.
In this session, we dig into the tension that lives at the heart of every dashboard, report, and presentation: the pull between crafting a compelling narrative and staying rigorously honest with the data. We'll look at how well-intentioned storytelling can quietly distort conclusions, how context gets lost in the name of clarity, and how the pressure to communicate "a clear message" can nudge even careful analysts toward choices they'd rather not defend.
We'll explore:
- Where the line sits between simplification and misrepresentation
- How design, framing, and sequencing shape what people believe
- The organisational pressures that make honesty harder than it sounds
- Practical principles for telling true stories, compellingly
Whether you're building reports, presenting to leadership, or trying to hold the line on something that doesn't feel quite right - this session is for you. Come with your examples, your dilemmas, and your own experience of where the line sits. We will talk about the everyday tension between being understood and being accurate.
The parts that we don't put on slides
Same destination, different roads. Two data professionals who arrived at a similar point in their careers through very different journeys — different starting points, different challenges, different choices along the way.
In this session they open up about what shaped them: the decisions they're proud of, the ones they'd make differently, and the struggles they don't usually talk about on stage. They also explore how showing up in the community — as speakers, attendees, and organisers — changed the way they think about their work and themselves.
Whether you're just entering the data world, standing at a crossroads, or already leading a team and still figuring things out — this session is for you. Come with your questions, your doubts, and your own experiences. This is not a lecture — it's a conversation, and you're welcome to be part of it.
The Monday Morning Report Club - Mindset, Design, and Alignment Behind Power BI Reports That Stick
Building a Power BI report is easy. Building one that people actually open on a Monday morning — that's a different story.
There's a real gap between a report and a data product. A report answers a question. A data product becomes part of how a team thinks, decides, and operates. It gets bookmarked, referenced in meetings, and trusted enough that people act on it without double-checking the numbers first. Getting there takes more than good data and clean visuals — it takes intentional design, stakeholder alignment, and a shift in how we approach BI development and maintenance.
This session covers the practical side of making that shift — from wireframing and design patterns that build trust, to layout decisions that drive action, to what happens after launch when the real work begins.
Design Thinking in the BI Product Lifecycle
There is no such thing like two exactly the same BI report or project. The requirements are always evolving, so does the business. Due to the knowledge and data democratisation trends, the stakeholder group is even more heterogenous now than ever before.
To address this problem, different approaches can be followed during product delivery, and Design Thinking method could easily establish a common ground where the users, the designers and the developers can collaborate to create data products beyond expectations.
During my session I would like to present:
• how Design Thinkin approach can be applied,
• when the wireframing method can be useful,
• where to start gathering feedbacks,
• which questions needs to be asked and interpreted,
• how establishing visual standards can support the process,
• how delivering simple products may have significant effects on data literacy,
• what are the different approaches to effectively train & onboard your users,
• how user adoptance can/should be tracked.
