Source text - Portuguese Gábor Becht, fundador da Cross-cultural Strategies, nasceu de pais húngaros em Ankara, capital da Turquia. Seu pai foi Professor de Desportes, diplomado no famosa academia de esportes do exército, SPOTI, na Hungria. O Major Henrik Becht também participou das Olimpíadas de Berlin em 1936. A influência e dedicação de seu pai em várias modalidades do esporte, incluindo o esgrima, esqui, alpinismo e ginástica e educação fisica em geral incentivaram o amor de Gábor pelo esporte e seu envolvimento numa carreira paralela que o tem acompanhado no seu trajeto de especialista inter-cultural.
Sua família mais tarde emigrou para o Brasil onde ele foi criado e educado num ambiente poliglota, que incluiu sua lingua materna, o húngaro, bem como o português e inglês, o último por virtude de ser matriculado na Escola Americana do Rio de Janeiro, onde seu pai estabeleceu um programa de educação física.
Esta educação internacional foi decisivo no desenvolvimento de uma carreira multinacional e experiências vitalícias que incluem muitos anos vividos na Europa Ocidental, as Américas (Norte e Sul) e Japão. Estas experiências ajudaram-no no aperfeicoamento de novas linguas extrangeiras como o alemão, holandês e espanhol e um profundo conhecimento também da cultura japonesa.
Gábor é diplomado em Física (membro da organização honorária Sigma Pi Sigma), com especialização adicional nas linguas modernas. Ele tem mantido suas atividades em projetos interculturais e idiomáticas tanto nas disciplinas de alta tecnologia como nas áreas de eventos esportivos mundialmente. Ele considera o Rio de Janeiro sua cidade natal adotiva, onde passou a maior parte de sua juventude. Atualmente ele reside na região Noroeste dos Estados Unidos.
Translation - English Gábor Becht, Cross-cultural Strategies principal, was born of Hungarian parents in Ankara, Turkey. His father was a "Professeur du Sport", having graduated from the prestigious Hungarian army sports academy SPOTI, and also participated in the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936. His father's influence and dedication to several sports disciplines, including fencing, skiing, gymnastics, alpinism and athletics in general help shape Gábor's love for and involvement with sports as a parallel path to his career as a cross-cultural specialist and businessman.
The family later emigrated to Brazil where he grew up in a multi-lingual environment which included his mother tongue Hungarian, as well as Portuguese and English, the latter because he enrolled in an American school in Rio de Janeiro where his father established a Physical Education program.
This upbringing set the stage for a multinational career and a wealth of life experiences, including many years spent in Western Europe, the Americas (North and South) and Japan. He later mastered fluency in the German, Dutch and Spanish languages and a solid understanding of the Japanese culture.
Gábor holds a degree in Physics (Sigma Pi Sigma honorary member) and a minor in languages. In addition to holding key marketing and sales positions in multi-national corporations around the world, he has been actively involved in international language projects in both the High Technology fields as well as major sports events worldwide. He considers Rio de Janeiro his hometown, the city of his youth and formative years. He currently resides in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

Translation - English Becht Gábor, CCS Igazgatója, magyar szülõktõl jött a világra Ankarában, Törökország fõvárosában. Édesapja, Becht Henrik, sporttanár volt, a híres magyar testnevelési intézetben, a SPOTI-ban végzett a második világháború elött. Fõleg a vívás, sielés, torna, hegymászás és általános testnevelésben volt szakmai képzettsége. Pályafutása egyik csúcspontja a Berlini olimpiász (1936) volt, ahol mint a magyar ifjusági csoport vezetõjeként lépett fel. Édesapja befolyása és kitüntetett sportvonatkozásu munkája és erõfeszitése mély nyomokat hagyott Gábor életében s nevelkedésében, s így ezek is jelentõs hatással voltak a sportszeretet és fejlesztés terén. Ezen keresztül fejlesztette Gábor a párhuzamos hivatását mint nemzetközi üzletember s többnyelvü inter-kulturás sportszakértõ.
Családja késõbb Braziliába vándorolt ki ahol egy háromnyelvû környezetben nõtt föl és kapott oktatást (magyarul, portugálul es angolul). Az angol nyelvet azért tanulta meg mert Édesapja révén mint sporttanár gyereke fogadták fel a Rio de Janeirói amerikai iskolában. Édesapja állitotta fel az ottani iskola testnevelési programját.
A sokoldalú nevelés alapozta további nemzetközi üzleti és szakmai fejlõdését. Többek között Északamerikában, Japánban és Nyugateurópaban élt, tanult és dolgozott. A nyelvtudását a némettel, hollanddal, spanyol és franciával bõvitette, s a japán nyelvet és kulturát is megismerte és megszerette.
Gábor fizikusként végzett és a Sigma Pi Sigma (tiszteletbeli fizikus szövetség) tagja. Jelenlegi tevékenységei a legkülönbözõbb nemzetközi összekötõ projektusokkal foglalkoztatta úgy a technológiai térben mint a sportban. Rio de Janeirót a gyermekori befogadóvárosát tartja "szülõvárosának". Jelenleg Amerika északnyugati partján, Oregon államban él és dolgozik.
