Gábor Horváth has been appointed deputy CEO, responsible for the project management division, while Ottó Vörös will serve as deputy CEO overseeing operations.
Óbuda Group recently merged its architect and project management areas, becoming one of Hungary’s largest architect and engineering consultancy firms. As part of the merger process, the new top management appointments support the company’s strategic objectives.
“The integration process and our focus on further growth requires us to continue building our organization with a large-scale corporate mindset. A major aspect of this approach is highlighting key individuals and expanding our senior management team to respond to our customers’ needs even more effectively and comprehensively while leveraging the synergies already available. I am convinced that expanding the company’s senior leadership team with outstanding professionals will contribute to the success of our partners and our team members, fostering shared growth and development,” said Péter Kálmán, CEO of Óbuda Group.
Gábor Horváth has 35 years of experience in the construction industry, including infrastructural, public utilities, and nuclear sectors. He graduated from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and the Budapest Business University as a structural and civil engineer and an engineer-economist. Gábor joined Óbuda Group in 2014 as director. Prior to that, he held the position of head of Engineering Department at the Budapest Waterworks.
His name is associated with major projects such as the portfolio management of Liget Budapest, project management of Gellért Campus, and overseeing engineering services related to the Paks Nuclear Power Plant. In his new role as Deputy CEO, Gábor is responsible for the project management division. With his extensive professional expertise and leadership experience, he will contribute to the division’s efficiency and foster growth while supporting the company’s long-term vision and strategic goals.
“Project management is not only a profession but also a vocation and a responsibility, both of which are essential for the successful delivery of complex development projects. The key to investment success lies in forward thinking, professional excellence, efficiency, and innovation. My aim is to further strengthen this approach within the company, ensuring continuous progress and the fulfilment of the highest quality standards,” said Horváth.
Ottó Vörös has over two decades of management and financial experience in real estate management, financial planning and operational management within both international and domestic corporations. He graduated from Budapest Business University and Lincoln University, holding a bachelor’s degree in economics and business, as well as an MBA.
Prior to joining Óbuda Group as deputy CEO in early 2025, he served as deputy CEO of Robertson Property Management. Previously, as country manager and managing director of Immofinanz’s local subsidiary, he managed a significant real estate portfolio.
“Óbuda Group is a dynamically developing major company within the construction industry, whose scale, market position, and client-focused approach provide strong fundamentals for further growth. I firmly believe that my expertise gained in multinational corporate environments can contribute to this development and strengthen both domestic and international efforts. The firm’s forward-thinking mindset and core values are perfectly aligned with my professional philosophy, making this an exceptionally exciting and inspiring new chapter for me,” said Vörös.
