Linczmayer Zsófia

My name is Zsófia Linczmayer, and I have been working at KPMG as an Associate Partner since 2023. As a business line leader, I am responsible for several advisory areas, including corporate treasury advisory, AI advisory, controlling advisory, and managed services, the latter of which I also oversee at the CEE level.

Earlier in my career, I worked in the corporate sector, holding various leadership roles at MOL Group, where I led and supported multiple finance and operations teams — from smaller, strategically focused units to large-scale operational areas. At the very beginning of my career, I gained my first professional experience in the banking sector.

As a leader, it is especially important for me to operate and set an example based on values I truly believe in. These include, among others: diversity, equality, inclusion, respect, transparent communication, collaboration, goal orientation, recognition, approachability, and excellence. I believe that building a value-driven culture is the responsibility of all of us — and even more so as leaders.

Mentorship and supporting talented women is particularly close to my heart, because everyone needs guidance, encouragement, and a supportive presence at certain stages of their career. I know firsthand how much it can mean when someone helps you stay grounded during challenging periods — I experienced this myself as a mentee.

I am a mother of two daughters, and I love spending my free time with them. Beyond that, nature, sports, and photography are the activities that recharge me the most.

Mentorship and supporting talented women is particularly close to my heart, because everyone needs guidance, encouragement, and a supportive presence at certain stages of their career. I know firsthand how much it can mean when someone helps you stay grounded during challenging periods — I experienced this myself as a mentee.

Have you had a mentor or have you mentor before? What has it given to you?

I've been a mentor and mentee as well multiple times. Both roles contributed to my personal development and I particularly like helping others navigating in their challenges.
