Andrea Koday-Vörös, the founder of the Dolorosa Foundation, has successfully managed her business since 2014. Her company handles luxury properties in London’s most prestigious areas and provides concierge services to prominent families worldwide.

 

Andrea believes that integrity, trust, vision, and the careful cultivation of relationships are the cornerstones of long-term success. She has gained extensive experience working with Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) families and continues to lead her business successfully, committed to building and maintaining valuable partnerships.

 

She earned her degree from the Budapest Business School and frequently returns to Budapest, where she actively participates in various community and charitable initiatives. From the outset, she has dedicated 10% of her company’s profits to supporting different foundations. In 2019, she decided to extend her commitment to philanthropy in Hungary, not only by supporting individual cases but also by fostering a culture of giving. This led to the creation of the Dolorosa Foundation.

 

As the founder and leader of the Hungarian British Business Alliance (HBBA), Susanna works to advance Hungarian-British bilateral economic relations in the United Kingdom. With over 30 years of executive experience, she supports her partners’ growth by developing business strategies and fostering international connections. Her expertise lies in crafting communication strategies and overseeing their implementation, ensuring her clients' success. She has an extensive network of leaders and decision-makers across various sectors worldwide.

 

She is honoured to participate in the mission of the Dolorosa Foundation. Previously, as Vice President of Harley-Davidson HOG, she supported numerous children's villages and hospitals with the involvement of volunteers. Her goal is to leverage her experience and network to help more individuals and companies experience the joy of giving, while also strengthening the culture of philanthropy in Hungary.

 

As a curator of the Dolorosa Foundation, Dr. Brigitta Péntek provides legal support to ensure the foundation's operations align with its mission and that donations are managed on a reliable basis. She holds a degree from the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences at Széchenyi István University and has over 10 years of professional experience, which she is dedicated to applying in support of the foundation.

 

Since childhood, she has been passionate about helping disadvantaged and vulnerable people, as well as abandoned animals. She regularly supports animal shelters, visits them, and assists in rehoming the animals.

 

Her goal is to foster and maintain trust in foundations and contribute to building a culture of philanthropy in Hungary through the Dolorosa Foundation.

 

I earned my degree in Structural Engineering at Ybl Miklós Technical College in Budapest and also completed a teaching engineering programme at the Budapest University of Technology. After 33 years of teaching, I retired.

 

My role within the foundation involves managing donation processes and coordinating support efforts, from initiating contacts to preparing budgets. My primary aim is to promote the foundation and gain a thorough understanding of the needs of those we help. I place special emphasis on assessing their current situations to provide tailored assistance.

 

Expanding the foundation, growing our network of supporters, and my empathy for human challenges have always played an important role in my life. Through the involvement of my daughter, Koday-Vörös Andrea, I became an active member, and during our first joint project, I experienced the true power of giving.
