Peter Barta

Péter Barta is a highly experienced management consultant, especially in project management, whose expertise relies on 12 years of work in both the profit and non-profit sectors. Former collaborator of European institutions such as the European Youth Forum and the Council of Europe, he was involved in monitoring missions in countries such as Mexico, the Palestine, Scandinavian countries, Russia or Macedonia, where he was consultant for the newly-created Ministry of Youth, following the fall of the former Yugoslavia. After this European period, he collaborated with several companies in the United States, such as the "Academy for Educational Development" and Development Alternative Inc., within the project GRASP financed by USAID. His mission was to provide technical assistance for local authorities and non-profit organizations. Subsequently, Péter Barta was Project Manager for SMURD Târgu Mureş, where he set up regional training centers and two local SMURD units in the county of Sibiu. He also managed the fundraising campaigns for SMURD, raising the largest amount of money in Romania for the program related to the redirection of 2% of taxpayers’ taxes to a non-profit organization. His achievement was recognized within the „People for People” Gala, an annual event that acknowledges the social responsibility of companies and individuals.

Péter Barta is currently the Executive Director of Post Privatization Foundation (FPP), an institution jointly managed by the European Commission and the Government of Romania, whose aim is to support Romanian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). His work contributed to the creation of the Romanian Counter-Guarantee Fund, alongside the Ministry of SMEs, Trade and Business Environment. He also continues to support awareness activities related to the need to include CSR in businesses’ development strategies, with an emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises.
