Markus Lejsek has always been interested in using business know-how to create added value for society. Immediately after completing his studies in International Business Administration, his path led him to the NPO sector. As a fundraiser for a large Austrian NGO and a leading University, he successfully contributed to raising additional funds from different forms of donors. For him, working in development cooperation was a long-held dream and therefore the logical next step.
