About me

My name is Huba Rostonics and I always had an entrepreneurial bent. During high school and college -just how I learned from my mother-, I was always assembling businesses to make some extra cash. Recycling, automotive body shop, electronics protective-case manufacturing, automotive electronics. You name it.

After college, I founded my own engineering firm where we tackled some very hard problems for many of the big names in manufacturing. After I successfully sold that business, I had the opportunity to work for some of the greatest companies on the planet where I learned how world-class businesses operate and deliver consistent results. A couple of decades later, I started my consulting practice. I wanted to offer my skills and insights to organizations and executives around the world. I was finally able to say and do the right thing at the right time for each of my clients. I absolutely loved it!

That’s when I decided to make a bigger impact and share everything that I learned with leaders of small and medium businesses and help them to improve how they run their companies.

Why “ThriveMonger”?

I started my career centered around engineering, deeply embedded in services and project management. Very soon I got involved with managing relationships with external, third party companies that were part of the value chain. I learned about the “channel”, and it turned out that globally, about 70% of business flows through indirect channels, and that working with the channel is a fairly all-encompassing discipline, requiring strategic thinking, and understand sales, marketing, finance, services delivery and even legal aspects. That’s when I became the “channelmeister” brand.

A few years later, I realized that to work with business leaders directly, I would need a more all-encompassing brand, but it was also clear that I have always have been an optimist, and believed that businesses and individuals can thrive if they concentrate on the aspects that will produce faster results.That’s how “thrivemonger” came to be.
