“Erik Keszthelyi’s professionalism, drive and determination are well known. But perhaps more importantly, he is able to make his environment feel that way. One of my most skilful colleagues was at Hungarikum Alkusz recently for a joint project. I asked my colleague how it was. They know what they want, they’re focused, they’re professional – he summed it up in a few words. So, it means that his environment is very much in tune with all this. And that is the most important quality of a good leader.”

“Erik Keszthelyi is an important and reliable business partner who knows and understands the needs of his clients and the latest trends, and builds his business strategy and business around them. Through persistent work and active communication, he has managed to create a very successful business and a strong team, which I can only congratulate.”

“Innovative Hungarian ideas are respected both at home and abroad. The value of these ideas is also reflected in the fact that they aim to make people’s lives better and aim to make a difference. Erik Keszthelyi sees challenges as stepping stones and works to not just sell a product, but to provide a real service to the people who turn to him.”

“In Erik Keszthelyi, I met an excellent leader who is committed to the development of the insurance sector and to raising financial awareness in society. It is a great pleasure for us that thanks to his work and his professional support, in cooperation with our university and the Hungarian Association of Insurance Consultants, the first insurance and financial consultancy degree course could be successfully launched in Hungary in autumn 2023. By providing students with up-to-date theoretical and practical knowledge, the course will make a significant contribution to the future development of the sector through the provision of sufficient numbers of high-quality professionals.”

“I already knew Erik Keszthelyi when he was in the early stages of building his companies. High quality was his passion even then, striving for perfection, which he considered important not only for business but also for appearance. This is still true for him today, and getting better. Erik’s work is accurately described by Oscar Wilde’s legendary saying that a man with the simplest tastes can only be satisfied with the best.”

“Talent, diligence, humility, modesty and reliability, respect for work and people are the recipe for success and also the defining characteristics of Erik Keszthelyi. This is not based on a superficial, brief acquaintance, but on 20 years of personal experience…. And of course there is a dose of Tolna spirit in it.”

“I have always believed that insurance is a service that is based on people’s basic desire for security. Therefore, it is not only our task but also our mission to serve this need. In today’s world, the role of personalised advice and ongoing personal relationships is even more important. We need to be able to keep track of our clients’ needs. We are on this journey together with a shared responsibility between the industry, insurers and brokerage firms. I believe that our joint achievement is that our clients trust us. We must continue to work to build on that trust. I am pleased that Erik’s belief in the insurance industry is based on similar principles.”

“We have had a working relationship with Erik for more than 20 years. I am his “oldest comrade”. Even then, despite his young age, he had ambitious plans, which he implemented year after year. His extraordinary leadership, forward thinking and innovative approach are an inspiration to those in the financial and insurance industry.”

“Reliability: everything always happens as you agree with him. Humility: he is humble to anyone and humble in his work. Respect. Diligence: What he has achieved speaks for itself. He gets up early and goes to bed late, he lives for his work. Helpfulness: He helps everyone. Social responsibility: He has set up a foundation to help those in need, to support talented people. Calmness, elegance, generosity. Her virtues and her belief in her work, in development, in education, in people, and in her professional knowledge make her a role model.”

“Erik Keszthelyi’s perseverance and work ethic are exemplary. He is the only person I know who wakes up earlier than me, and always with unbroken enthusiasm.”

“I’ve known Erik Keszthelyi for several years and our professional relationship has been an inspiration ever since. Our conversations are always deep and forward-looking, as Erik is not only an outstanding insurance industry professional, but also a leader who places a strong emphasis on innovation and customer-centric solutions. There are not many people in the business world with whom you can have such an open and honest exchange of ideas as with him. Erik has an excellent ability to identify and respond to the changing needs of the market in innovative ways. His commitment, professionalism and clarity ensure that anyone who works with him will have a trusted and inspiring leader or partner.”

“There is no substitute for a personal role model. Business people should share not only their recipes for success in business, but also their ideas on society, the economy, education and culture, especially if they have made progress on their own merits. Their opinions, criticisms, insights and suggestions can benefit society as a whole, even if we only agree with some of them.”

“Have you ever felt that, although there is no rational explanation, you know you have to do something? It was with that feeling that I joined the Hungarikum Alkusz, which at the time was a handful of people and a smiling, incredibly enthusiastic young man with a fire in his eyes. That’s almost 12 years ago now. A handful of people have become a regiment, enthusiasm is spreading like wildfire. Erik’s belief to follow and build his dream and vision is an example to us all every day.
