Not an advisor, a partner in the field.
20+ years as the field man behind Turkish manufacturers' export growth.
My Career
I represented Turkish manufacturers for many years as a Sales and Business Development Manager across Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. Through the strong relationships I established with contractors, importers, and buyers in 12 African countries, 11 Middle Eastern countries — particularly Syria and Oman — as well as in Central Asia and the Caucasus, including Azerbaijan and Georgia, I successfully developed sustainable business networks across dozens of countries.
I served as Iraq Country Manager at MİTAŞ Enerji, where I was personally involved in energy and infrastructure projects from Basra to Erbil, Baghdad to Kirkuk. I know the Iraqi market's dynamics, official procurement mechanisms and local importer networks from direct field experience.
My Arabic language proficiency enabled me to conduct business development activities across 11 Arab countries without cultural or linguistic barriers — a critical advantage in B2G channels and projects requiring direct contact with government institutions.
Through my memberships in the DEİK Energy Executive Board, OAİB and İMMİB, my partnership within the İVME 41 Solution Partnership platform, my delegations in SİGD and TÜÇİAD, as well as my connections with TMB, I continuously maintain and expand my institutional network. Rather than offering desk-based consultancy, I provide a business model focused on active market development and direct buyer acquisition.
