Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono, CEO of Budapest-based BAC Consulting, said she was an ‘intermediate’ and did not make the pagers that exploded in Lebanon this week, killing 12 people and injuring more than 2,000

She speaks seven languages, has a PhD in particle physics, an apartment in Budapest plastered with her own pastel drawings of nudes, and a career that took her around Africa and Europe doing humanitarian work.

Following publication of this story, Reuters again reached out to her but received no reply. The Hungarian government said on Wednesday that BAC Consulting was a “trading-intermediary company” that had no manufacturing site in the country and that the pagers had never been to Hungary. At her Budapest home, a steel outer gate encloses a small vestibule where life drawings of nudes sketched in red and orange pastels can be seen taped up on the wall. An inner door leading into her apartment was ajar when Reuters first visited the building on Wednesday, and closed when the reporter returned on Thursday. No one answered the bell.

In the early 2000s she earned her PhD in physics at University College London, where her dissertation on positrons – a subatomic particle with the mass of an electron and a positive charge – remains available on the UCL website. But she appears to have left without pursuing a scientific career. In a separate CV on the BAC Consulting website, she described herself as a “Board Member at the Earth Child Institute,” an educational and environmental charity in New York. The group’s founder, Donna Goodman, told Reuters Barsony-Arcidiacono had never held any role there.
