The story of the CEO of this company given sleepless night
The story of the CEO of this company given sleepless nights…
She speaks seven languages, has a PhD in particle physics, is also the CEO of a company, was in the dark of anonymity for three-four years, but has suddenly come into the limelight for the last two days. However, she is getting these headlines not because of her work, but because of her name, which is associated with the pager and walkie-talkie blast in Lebanon.
Cristiana Barsoni-Arcidiacono (49), Italian-Hungarian CEO and owner of Hungary-based BAC Consulting, who lives in an apartment in Budapest, says that she has not made the explosive pagers, which killed 12 people and injured more than 2,000 in lebanon this week. She says that we do not make that pager. We have a tie-up with Taiwanese pager manufacturer gold Apollo. We only prepare the design.
She has gone underground since the explosion
She has not been seen in public since the media has been looking for her after her company's name came to light. Neighbours say they have not seen her. Barsoni-Arcidiacono has not responded to Reuters' calls and emails and when Reuters visited her private address in downtown Budapest, there was no answer either. Her flat in a luxurious old building in Budapest was open earlier this week but is now closed.
Hungarian government said BAC is just a business intermediary company
The Hungarian government said on wednesday that BAC Consulting was a "business intermediary company" with no manufacturing site in the country and that Pager had never visited Hungary. When Reuters spoke to her acquaintances and former colleagues, they said she was a woman with an impressive intellect.
