Gyula Király was born in Budapest. In 1985 he graduated as a transportation engineer from the Technical University of Budapest. In 2003 he obtained a postgraduate specialist certificate in transport management engineering from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, and in 2016 he also earned a degree in health care management from Semmelweis University. 

Since 1985, his professional career has been predominantly in the business sector, working as a software development engineer in IT companies he co-founded with friends. He currently works primarily at Hospitaly Kft., of which he is co-owner and managing director. 

Taking a break from his work in the business sector, he gained public administration experience between 2002 and 2007 as Deputy Director General for IT and Records at the National Health Insurance Fund (now NEAK). 

Alongside his business activities, he is also involved in university teaching. Since 2000 he has continuously taught health informatics at the Health Services Management Training Centre of Semmelweis University. From 1995 to 2023 he was an external lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering Sciences of Széchenyi István University, which awarded him the title of titular associate professor in 2021. Since 2023 he has been head of the Department of Medical Technology Industry at Obuda University and a lecturer in the hospital and medical engineering program. In 2024 he was also awarded the title of honorary associate professor by Obuda University. 

He is a member of the board of trustees of the Foundation for the Hungarian Medical Technology Industry, co-president of the Hungarian Medical Manufacturers and Service Providers Cluster, a member of the Zoltán Magyary Society for E-Government Sciences, and editor of the IT section of the scientific journal IME – Interdisciplinary Hungarian Health Care. In 2012 his product iKórlap received the ICT Innovation of the Year award from the Association of Hungarian IT Companies and the National Innovation Office. 

He publishes regularly on health informatics. His main areas of expertise include e-Health and m-Health, the design and development of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, health care Big Data and patient pathway optimization solutions, and IT support for medical technology research and development. He is an active sportsman. His hobby is building and automating a garden railway. In his free time he spends time with his grandchildren or goes on wine tours. 

János Novák was born in Gyula. In 2006 he graduated from the University of Szeged with degrees in cultural management and language teaching. In 2011 he completed an MSc in economics at the Keleti Károly Faculty of Economics of Obuda University, and in 2025 he earned his doctorate at the Doctoral School on Safety and Security Sciences.

He began his career in 2007 at the predecessor of Obuda University, Budapest Tech, first as a dormitory teacher and later as head of a member dormitory. Since 2021 he has been Director of the university’s dormitories.

Since 2012 he has taught at several faculties of the University. His main subjects are management, business communication, and HR management.

His public activities include several positions in FEKOSZ (the National Association of Student Dormitories in Higher Education), where he has served as a board member, president, and member of the supervisory committee. He is a regular participant and trainer in Obuda University’s student leadership training programs.

In his work he is responsible not only for the operation of the dormitories but also for ensuring that the students living there can spend their university years in a safe, predictable, and supportive environment. In his view, a dormitory means far more than simple housing: for many students it is a community where they begin an independent life, build relationships, and truly become part of the university community. A well-functioning dormitory can therefore directly contribute to students’ academic success and their attachment to the university.

He always plans for the future: instead of quick, superficial fixes, he looks for solutions to problems that will hold up in the long term. As a leader, he builds on a balance of consistency and humanity, clear areas of responsibility, and genuine cooperation. He strives to address problems at their roots, thereby ensuring stable operation in the future. He believes that the secret of successful leadership lies in consistency, a people-centered approach, clearly defined responsibilities, and teamwork. He is convinced that the key to successful cooperation is the conscious and harmonious reconciliation of different perspectives.

When he is not focused on work, he is happiest out on the water, indulging his passion for sailing. He is constantly looking for opportunities to set off and experience previously unknown cultures and stunning landscapes up close. He is also a true food enthusiast; he not only enjoys good food but actively seeks out special, authentic flavors and culinary novelties wherever he travels in the world.
