Csenge Csoka

Csenge transforms workplace dynamics across continents. Having architected people strategies from London’s financial district to Hanoi’s bustling startup scene, she’s witnessed firsthand how cultural intelligence becomes the ultimate competitive advantage in today’s borderless business world.
Her unconventional journey began in Budapest’s banking sector before evolving into a decade-long exploration of what makes teams thrive across dramatically different cultural landscapes. From managing 220+ diverse employees across three brands at Goldman Sachs to scaling Vietnamese startups, Csenge has cracked the code on building cultures that don’t just survive—but absolutely flourish—when East meets West.

What sets her apart is that she doesn’t just talk about culture; she reverse-engineers it. At Lodge Catering as Head of HR and Operations, her cultural transformation boosted new hire retention by 75%. In Vietnam, her approach to cross-cultural team dynamics drove 30% operational efficiency gains. Her secret weapon isn’t complicated frameworks—it’s understanding that brilliant culture happens in the spaces between formal policies, in the micro-moments where authenticity meets strategy.

Currently running CC People Solutions, Csenge helps organisations worldwide navigate the beautiful complexity of multicultural teams. She’s discovered that the most resilient companies aren’t those with the strongest cultures, but those brave enough to let their cultures evolve. Her philosophy: culture isn’t something you build once—it’s something you curate daily, like a living, breathing ecosystem that adapts and grows.
