Zsuzsa Vörös is the CEO and co-founder of Kidea, a start-up dedicated to addressing the critical issue of children's digital safety in educational settings. With over a decade of experience in brand, innovation, and project management within the FMCG and pharmaceutical industries, Zsuzsa possesses a profound understanding of business dynamics. 

Her journey into the realm of children's digital safety began when her daughter started kindergarten in 2020 upon returning to Europe from Australia and it quickly became evident that the institution's data handling lacked any conscientiousness, and failed to comply with the GDPR, disadvantageous to children whose parents were conscious of these issues. 

Recognizing this pervasive problem in childcare institutions, Zsuzsa's commitment led to notable achievements. Just recently she received the prestigious 1st place in the Conscious Education category at the Edison Platform by Bridge Budapest Award. 

To address data privacy concerns in kindergartens, Zsuzsa's leadership at Kidea in collaboration with Data Privacy experts created a vital resource - the Kindergarten Privacy Package. This complimentary downloadable tool aids kindergarten leaders in navigating the complex landscape of data protection regulations. 

Zsuzsa Vörös also shares her expertise as a speaker on topics like digital safety in educational settings, educators' social media etiquette, secure parent-teacher communication, GDPR compliance in institutions, and marketing strategies for kindergartens prioritizing children's digital safety.
