About

Bálint Terjék

I build and govern IT operations inside the environments where it’s hardest to do well: regulated banks, cross-border managed services, mission-critical infrastructure. Over 9+ years — at the European Central Bank, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, and Lexmark — the pattern repeats: join a service in crisis (siloed teams, failing SLAs, mass resignations), and rebuild it into something stable, audited, and calm.

I hold CISM (ISACA) and ITIL v4 Strategist: Direct, Plan, Improve. I’ve taken organisations through SOC 1, SOC 2, C5, and ISO 27001/9001 simultaneously — with zero audit findings — by building compliance into daily operations instead of treating it as a once-a-year performance for the auditor.

I also hold a BA in Classical Philology from Eötvös Loránd University, alongside a BA in Aesthetics — which is where this practice’s name actually comes from: the interpunct is the small mark ancient scribes used to separate one word from the next, from back when Greek was written as an unbroken stream of letters with no space between them at all. Finding the boundary that makes the pattern legible — rather than imposing one that doesn’t fit the noise it’s meant to organise — is more or less the whole job description.

I’m also a hands-on daily practitioner of the tools I advise on — Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini — and a co-founder and COO of Futable, which takes Hungarian companies through AI adoption with the same discipline I bring to everything else. That’s why Interpunct sells no AI adoption product of its own: the adoption work belongs to Futable, and what Interpunct does underneath it is the compliance floor — which obligations actually apply to you, and the evidence that you meet them.
