Passionate about helping people and businesses to grow wings and fly, I am also and beforehand the happy father of 4 children, the third one being born during my MBA.
In my daily life, I try to inspire family spirit, value transmission and joie de vivre around me: roots give wings !

Miklos Tomka, MBA’97J, VP Entrepreneurship
dual national (EU and Canada) entrepreneur with a passion and track record to help (tech / digital health / deep tech) companies launch, enter new markets and to take them to market leadership (or exit)– which he has done so far 4 times as CEO or General Manager.
Drivers of his success are: a truly international background (French, German, English and Hungarian language skills and networks); the ability to define a strong value proposition for the target market (what IS the value the offer can bring), and the ability to sell that value proposition to potential clients (or to investors in case of funding needs).
During the last 25+ years Miklos helped numerous companies to grow in a range of tech areas (from MedTech to IoT, SaaS, Big Data and more). His experience as strategy consultant (Bain and Company) and CEO, general manager or business unit leader (Brother International, Air Liquide Medical, AllSight, Ubiquilux etc.) ensures that any strategic recommendations he makes are tangible, actionable and deliver results. His passion is to develop and implement hands on growth plans for companies he advises or leads to ensure that results follow the initial recommendation. Miklos’ success is also based on his in-depth understanding of technology (including hands on coding, AI or hardware experience) allowing him to talk “tech” to techies and “business impact” to (client) CEO’s or investors.
Miklos is on the advisory board of several companies; he mentors multiple startups and he coaches entrepreneurs on strategy, growth and international business.
Miklos lived and worked in several countries from Germany to France, UK, Hungary, USA and Canada. He currently lives in the South of France and works with companies globally as executive or advisor / consultant / board member.

INSEAD brings together people, cultures and ideas to develop responsible leaders who transform business and society
Within the Alumni Association in France, the purpose of the Business & Society CoE is twofold:

Anna : « I appreciate you and INSEAD Community for this opportunity to meet such friendly, honest, helpful people – Bojana and Arjan. Thanks to them we are safe, we feel ourselves as in home, we have usual life in common sense. I’ll tell you little about our story, it’s not practice advice, but my feelings. We left our home at the begging of the war , spent several weeks in different places in Ukraine🇺🇦 , we changed a location based on bombing directions. When we get opportunity to go abroad I was scared because it meant that this war was not short-lived. 12.03.22 we crossed border.. My first think was about safety, the second one was about calm life that I saw. It was huge contrast compared to Ukraine. And I had such think all our trip to Netherlands 🇳🇱. I was ashamed to come to people to other country with my problems, but Bojana and Arjan were so friendly and supported us,🙏 and I started to feel relieved .. Our friends helped us with everything (house, registration in municipality and doctor, helped with clothes, money etc.). As well I would like to note than people in NL are so friendly. Cut long story short, today is the forty fifth day when I’m not at home, my husband and my mother are far from me, but thanking for Bojana and Arjan I’m still strong and I have hope for future. I’m so happy to meet my new Dutch friends 🇺🇦🇳🇱 » BR, Anna
