Tom Kereszti was born in Hungary and migrated to the US when young, learning English for the first time late in elementary school. He studied engineering, following in his father’s footsteps, and joined consumer products juggernaut Colgate Palmolive. He earned an MBA while working. Once the Iron Curtain came down, Tom was selected to run the Company’s operations in Hungary. That led to other overseas assignments in Prague, Amsterdam and Mexico City. He recently published a book entitled “C-Suite and Beyond” that highlights his various experiences and shares his insight honed over years building and turning around businesses.
