I had the privilege of working with Peter Varga during a complex and transformative time at Exxon, as we transitioned to a global outsourcing model for Benefits and Payroll services with Strada. Peter’s expertise and leadership in designing the project approach and executing the pilot items were invaluable in ensuring a smooth and successful implementation of change across multiple countries. Throughout our collaboration, Peter consistently demonstrated professionalism, an understanding of the project’s complexity, and a genuine dedication to the project. His ability to lead the team to take action from feedback and collaborate seamlessly, ensured that our collective efforts were aligned and efficient. I value our partnership and look forward to the opportunity to work with Peter again in the future. Patusiree Charanvatnakit, Workforce Enablement Project Advisor, was Peter’s client I worked with Peter for two years. During that time he managed the EMEA HR operations team. I found Peter to be technically very skilled with great ability to understand complex issues. His insights, solution oriented attitude and humor helped the team through difficult times. While being a team player in cross regional projects, Peter was also a mentor to his direct reports always ready to help. Dora Siminszky, Head of EMEA, LATAM & APAC HR Operations, managed Peter As EMEA regional manager in Citi I cooperate closely with Peter in his role of payroll solutions and reengineering manager. Peter manages large scope of payroll related projects and reengineering initiatives across EMEA. His knowledge and experience in payroll processes and payroll systems is extraordinary. Peter´s approach to payroll projects is always very professional and he is able to immediately address any issue. He is open to discuss, supportive, solution oriented and very well organized. I appreciate his experience in EMEA diversity and honesty in commenting the plans and initiatives. As working previously as payroll manager in multinational corporations, managing payroll operations for many European countries, implementing payroll and HR systems he would be significant asset to any company as payroll projects and reengineering manager. Sabina Kardosova, EMEA Regional Payroll Head, was Peter’s client |
We have been working with Peter on a major transformation program aiming to standardize the scope of services to 50+ countries across EMEA at Citibank. Peter is a seasoned professional, his expertise covers all areas of HR operations and project management from HR administration, compensation and benefits and payroll as well. His real strength is that he has an end-to-end process view, therefore he is able to think holistically and to design strategy at a regional/global level. He understands the complexities of the different countries, with great empathy and expert knowledge he has been able to promote and execute the global model successfully across the region. He has been a great partner to have inspiring professional discussions with, he has a growth mindset, open to new ideas coming from his team members and always looking for process simplification and improvement opportunities. Last but not least it has been great fun to work with him. Melinda Bozsik, EMEA HR Shared Services Migrations and Reengineering Lead, worked with Peter in same and different teams Peter is a reliable, knowledgeable and proactive Benefits expert. He is capable of breaking down large, complex issues in the heart of benefits into digestible chunks that clients understand. He backs this up with a wealth of solutions that he can implement to resolve challenges faced by clients and is very solution-focused. He's a definite team player, responsible and driven, and I would be very happy to have him on my team supporting me. Peter Ayres, Business Consultant Senior Manager, worked with Peter I worked with Peter in my 'internal client'-facing role for EMEA at Citi, at the Budapest Shared Services Center. Peter's been responsible for EMEA-payroll process review and improvement. He's been instrumental both in identifying areas for improvement, and undertaking the subsequent changes and change management around it. He's got a very good eye for detail. Merdan Halilov, Service Excellence Manager, was Peter’s client I have had the pleasure to work with Peter in 2023 when he joined the Alight Advisory Team for the DACH Region. I really liked how fast he was able to integrate into the DACH Advisory team and the global Advisory team and as well how rapidly he built up his network with colleagues in other business lines. His proactive approach, be it with respect to driving projects, developing new methodology and taking over team lead responsibility after only a short time with the company is admirable. Peter has proven to be a very important asset to the Advisory team and also brings a wide experience in people as well as business management to the DACH team but also to the global Advisory team. Gabi Hepfer, Head of Strategic Advisory Services, managed Peter |
