Hi, I’m Andi. I help first-time leaders step into their roles with confidence, clarity, and impact.
Nice to
Meet You
Back in 2004, I led my first project with almost zero knowledge about project management or leadership. I was a small-town girl in the big city, tasked with organizing a 30-day prep event for job hunters at one of Hungary’s largest university job fairs. It was a daunting challenge, but it sparked something in me—a belief that I could lead and influence others towards success, even without formal authority or experience.
Over the next decade, I honed my skills, leading teams and driving success in big corporations without ever holding an official leadership title. Then, in a surprising twist, I joined a tiny startup called Prezi in 2017 and quickly stepped into a leadership role. It was there that I realized how much I thrive in guiding others, even when the stakes were high.
In 2015, a turning point came when I discovered the power of mentoring. As I began to give back and share what I’d learned, my impostor syndrome started to fade. Mentoring became a passion, and I’ve continued to actively support others through various organizations ever since.
But in 2019, a quiet voice inside me began to whisper—a gentle nudge to create something bigger. For five years, I wrestled with that idea, until finally, in 2024, I took the leap. I called a dear friend and said, “Hey, I have this idea, and I think you and I would be the perfect fit to make it happen. Wanna join me?” That’s how WiseStart was born.
Our mission is to help 100,000+ first-time leaders grow into their roles with confidence and impact. I know from personal experience—and from the stories of dozens of peers—that this is a critical moment in anyone’s career.
The first few weeks and months of leadership can make or break someone’s trajectory. At WiseStart, we’re here to help new leaders navigate this transition, avoid common mistakes, and step into their potential with clarity and purpose.
When I’m not working on WiseStart or my 9-5 at Prezi, you’ll find me dancing lindy hop and rock and roll with my partner, playing with my two adorable border terriers, or curled up with yet another Scandinavian crime novel. Life is a beautiful balance of passion, doing what I love, and the little joys that keep me grounded.
If your first 90 days as a leader feel like:
You’re constantly faking it—hoping no one notices you don’t have all the answers (spoiler: no one does).
Your to-do list is a black hole—and you’re drowning in tasks instead of leading with purpose.
You’re stuck in survival mode—putting out fires instead of setting a vision and driving results.
You’re sacrificing your sanity—working late nights and weekends just to keep up.
You’re wondering if leadership is even for you—because it feels more overwhelming than empowering.
It doesn’t have to be this way.

Andrea had a very positive energy from the start. She was super enthusiastic helping out in any which ways she possible could and it was a wonderful experience speaking with her. She's very transparent, honest and super easy to talk to and I cannot recommend her enough

Andrea was generously sharing about her view about career development, growth and leadership while reflecting her journey. I was coming to the session with a few questions and I got inspiring and transparent answers during our talk. Our session was flowing pleasantly with positive energy.
