Gergo is the acting CEO & Co-Owner of Melkweg, managing the general business aspects of our company. Gergo is also the co-founder of our sister company, the GYÁR (Post) Production. 

How did you get into the industry?

Originally, I started my career as an CG/3D artist in my early twenties. The whole thing even got started in the high school years around 1989-‘90 when the first related softwares popped up on the market. In the late communist era, my father started to import Commodore 64 computers thanks to a special government allowance, so I started to play with the then released first version of Corel Draw, much before the Adobe Photoshop. Then a few years later, we bought our family’s first PC with the first version of 3D Studio and I started to play modelling. Very soon I realised that my developed skills are well paying ones: my uncle worked at one of the largest pioneer post production studio in Budapest back then, I started to work during my college years, making for instance product packshots for ads. I studied mechanical engineering, but after 2 years I dropped it, because I knew exactly my path ahead. When the first CGI softwares appeared on the market, I dived deep into them to start using and develop my skills. And a few years later, I co-founded GYÁR. 

What is your superpower?

As a leader, I think the most crucial skill is to be able to adapt & give good enough answers to the environment changes. 

What do you do if you are not working?

When the kids were smaller, family came first, but they are big boys now. Nowadays my #1 hobby is renovating & pimping old cars, starting with Jeeps a decades ago, I learnt the whole craft from YouTube. So you can find me during the weekends in the garage behind the GYÁR HQ.
