Csaba Stefan Bakó
IT Portfolio Manager & Transition and Transformation Leader — CEO of HQZ-IT and CSE Business Kft.
Csaba Stefan Bakó is an IT Portfolio Manager and Transformation Leader with over 15 years of experience leading large-scale digital transformation and M&A integration programs — including infrastructure modernization work across the energy, telecommunications, and manufacturing sectors, with program value exceeding €50M.
He leads two companies: HQZ-IT and CSE Business Kft, a Hungary-based IT consulting and project/program management firm serving Hungarian and international clients, with Microsoft and Sophos partner certifications across cloud, security, and managed IT services.
His work centers on aligning IT portfolios with business strategy, leading cross-functional global teams, and managing the deal, phase, and multi-supplier complexity that comes with major transitions. Outside of formal transformation work, he's also known — informally — as a connector: someone who tends to know who should be talking to whom.
