Magyar wrote that Sumeghy speaks English and Italian at a high level and is currently a participant in the University of Oxford's executive leadership programme. She has worked in finance for nearly a decade, where she became Europe's best regional leader with her 200-strong sales team.

He added that the new chief of staff has been an entrepreneur and a manager since her university days, and since 2016, she has been a producer and communications director at the film production and distribution company she co-owns with her husband, film director Tamas Yvan Topolanszky.

As one of the creators of the documentary Spring Wind, Sumeghy "has followed and thus knows well the prime minister's work and the Tisza community, their decision-making processes and value choices," he said.

As chief of staff, "she will create a leadership environment driven by pure intentions, strategically coherent and people-centred", in which decisions "serve the building of a functional, future-proof and humane Hungary", he added.

Addressing the new chief of staff, Magyar thanked Sumeghy for taking on "this challenge-filled task".

Magyar thanked Gyorgy Velkey for his work so far as chief of staff and wished him much success as an MP and state secretary at the foreign ministry.
