I'm the Budapest program manager for our Code to Give hackathon at Morgan Stanley. I'm really looking forward to seeing lots of creative solutions, which will support Salva Vita, our selected non-profit partner. As the hackathon is happening in a hybrid format, I hope to meet and get to know many of you in person at our opening and closing events.

As the Vice President at Morgan Stanley, I lead Morgan Stanley’s Global Technology Philanthropy, a global program creating opportunities for employees to Give Back using their technical expertise. In addition to Code to Give, programs include Technology Change Makers, a global program that embeds teams of Morgan Stanley Technologists are embedded in local non-profits to address a technical need, and Morgan Stanley Makerspace, a workshop-based program that teaches kids and teens living in shelters how to code using robotics and games. As a former private sector strategy consultant, a founder of a Beijing for-profit social enterprise bringing medical devices to China for children with disabilities, and a U.S. Department of State Fulbright Research Fellow to China, I am passionate about bringing technical expertise to the organizations and communities that need it the most.

Anikó Lévay, Mentor

Software Developer - Morgan Stanley

I'm a C++ developer and I've been hiding behind my desk most of the time. I was also a member of the Code To Give development team last year, and I'm excited about this year new challenge as well. Can't wait to see your new creative ideas helping Salva Vita Foundation.

Katalin Vég

CEO - Salva Vita

I took a sharp bend from my foreign affairs studies back in the 80s at the Corvinus University to become the CEO of the Salva Vita Foundation in 2006. In my personal story a German girl named Katherina played a particular role. She was the first disabled person I have ever met in my life while being a volunteer in Germany during my university years. She changed my life for good, for she is the reason I committed myself to support disabled people and started to work in the NGO sector and found my personal mission in life. Well, I can’t wait to listen to your pitches and find out your exciting ways of helping our work! Good luck to all teams!

I have extensive experience in the areas of recruitment & selection, assessment, training and counselling - supporting both employees with disabilities and their future employers. Being hugely enthusiatic about the digital solutions possibly used during the assessment process we have, I can´t wait to see your ideas and project plans at this year´s Code to Give Hackathon.
