Hungarian national, Fulbright Scholar, and London MBA<\/a> Class of 2018 alum Eva Rez<\/a> lives in London and works for Sky as Senior Investment Manager. She recently won Female Role Model of the Year for Hungary from the Central European Startup Awards. Here, Eva reflects on her recent journey.<\/p>\n

Step 1. Stand back and assess the \u201cbig picture\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I took a leap of faith to transform my life. I decided to come to London, start an MBA, find a job, set up a new life and leave everything behind from my previous life in Hungary. I didn\u2019t even know if I was capable of doing it. And I learned a lot. I got a lot of feedback. I got an MBA. An internship. Two job offers and an award from my local community. I had challenges in my personal life but I received a lot of support from people and was able to build a whole new life – even though it might have seemed impossible two years ago.<\/p>\n

Step 2. Define your next key challenge<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I chose to do an MBA for a number of reasons. After 8-10 years in the business, and especially after working in Venture Capital with startups, I came to the realization that managing diverse teams<\/strong> and being able to communicate effectively across cultures and backgrounds is crucial. I wanted to be a more effective leader and thought this was a great opportunity to work in cross-cultural teams and hone my soft skills<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Step 3. Throw yourself in with an open heart <\/strong><\/h3>\n

My year at Hult was a real journey in many ways and I\u2019m very grateful – especially to my cohort. My classmates are a truly great bunch of people from whom I learned a lot. Their backgrounds, how they overcame obstacles, their diverse stories \u2013 it was an epic learning curve. Learning to manage difficult situations with openness and communication<\/strong> was a very important step in my development. The professors were great and offered new unexplored angles to subjects that I thought I already knew. My mindset has changed in a positive way.<\/p>\n

Step 4. Create your own opportunities and make the most of them<\/strong><\/h3>\n

During my MBA I did an internship with Episode 1 Ventures. That\u2019s how I integrated myself into the venture capital scene here and learned a lot about the U.K.’s approach to startup investments.<\/p>\n

I really enjoy meeting very smart people with great ideas. We\u2019re living through a scientific revolution so it\u2019s naturally a brilliant time to be working with tech folk. I love that I get to facilitate that. Every day I learn something new and that keeps me pushing forward.<\/p>\n

My role at Sky is pretty much my dream job. I\u2019m passionate about adding value to the team I\u2019m working with, to the corporation, and to the startup people. I strive to connect people with people, and people with resources. If I can find beneficial relationships for startups, companies,\u00a0and founders, and do a good job for Sky, find new angles to develop and look at how we can make the future better, then I\u2019ll feel I\u2019m adding value.<\/p>\n

What Sky is doing and what the whole media and digital entertainment spaces are doing \u2013 it\u2019s a very exciting place to be right now.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re living through a scientific revolution so it\u2019s naturally a brilliant time to be working with tech folk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Step 5. Give, take, & collaborate<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I like to share my knowledge. Whether it\u2019s blogs, mentoring, or attending events \u2013 I like to share what I\u2019m learning. My background is finance. I\u2019m not naturally a tech person so it\u2019s more about the trends that I see or the investment angle that I\u2019m involved in. Hopefully, this helps startups who can use my insight. That said, I\u2019m also learning a lot from the startups themselves and how they are building their business and culture.<\/p>\n

Step 6. Expect surprises along the way<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Female Role Model of the Year Award was completely unexpected but it came at a very good time. I still don\u2019t know who nominated me. But I ended up winning the public vote. It\u2019s a Hungarian competition run by the Central European Startup Awards. Hopefully, it will inspire people to believe they can pursue a dream. I loved what I was doing in Hungary but I knew I wanted to live in London and work in an international VC environment.<\/p>\n

Step 7. Keep moving forward<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My advice to others? Be brave.<\/p>\n
