Owner Ádám Székely is handing over day-to-day management to focus on the company’s long-term business and investment objectives.
The changes also establish dedicated responsibilities for finance, sales and business development, asset management and acquisitions as the company prepares to expand its real estate portfolio.
Kovács joined Innovinia more than five years ago after spending the first decade of his career in banking. He worked in corporate banking and project finance at three Hungarian commercial banks, eventually leading a corporate banking business unit as managing director.
At Innovinia, he has led finance, operations and business development. He received the Rising Talent of the Year award at the 2026 Real Estate Awards. In his new role, he will coordinate daily operations and support the implementation of the company’s growth strategy.
Bálint Virág will take over as finance director, overseeing the group’s financial management. His responsibilities will include capital structure, debt financing, hedging transactions and the financial evaluation of investments and development projects.
Virág began his career in banking before spending more than a decade in the energy sector. He initially worked in structured finance and subsequently became head of investment planning and analysis, overseeing financial planning, modeling and analysis for large-scale investments.
Nikoletta Ispánki will lead Innovinia’s sales and business development departments. She brings more than 20 years of real estate experience, having held positions at Cushman & Wakefield and Skanska before becoming IWG’s country manager for Hungary.
Balázs Czifra, previously director of sales and asset management, will focus primarily on managing the company’s growing property portfolio. As transactions director, he will also oversee portfolio acquisitions.
Czifra has more than 25 years of real estate experience in Hungary and Central and Eastern Europe, spanning advisory, development and investment roles at companies including DTZ, SEGRO and Diófa Asset Management.
“Over the past years, Innovinia has undergone significant development, and our portfolio has continued to expand. In parallel, we are shaping the responsibilities of our management team to ensure dedicated attention across all key areas. The new structure clearly distinguishes strategic, operational, financial, commercial and asset management responsibilities, enabling us to pursue our long-term objectives with even greater momentum,” Székely said.
Innovinia plans to continue expanding its real estate portfolio in the coming years while maintaining its flexible approach and strengthening its position in Hungary’s real estate development market.
