Co Founder | 01/2016 - 06/2022

After long years on saddle and in production & retail side of cycling sector, I have founded my own company in August 2015. Due to 2016, I have started to serve for investors, brands and producers. I would like to offer my service for different channels; following through all product flow on vendors, - Production & Facility Management; since Turkey is very close to European markets and for last 2 years it has been discussed among European brands to get the production return to Europe from Far East. (I had mentioned first time about it in 2009) Turkey can be a good solution for production. Turkey has several factories and new comers are joining the sector for last 2 years. Even, an alloy frame factory started up. I can manage your production and product flow, breaking the language barrier with local sources. - Collection / Product Range Meetings & Instructions; Since I'm a keen rider and mechanic, I can combine those longtime skills and my production experience to create a wide spread range with cost effective methods. - Quality Management; I can provide incoming inspection of samples and can follow your sample production. From prototype phase to "golden standard sample" phase, I can report and take action to provide quicker solutions. - Production Survey; I can follow your scheduled production batches and I can manage the production issues instantly on field. I can support your documentation and import process too. - Brand Events & Meetings; I can use my tourism and guiding experience to organise events & meetings for your brand. - Sales & Marketing; Since Turkey has a huge potential for sports & cycling sector with young population, I can support your sales & marketing efforts for Turkish market. Please feel free to contact me about any of above topics. We can discuss collaboration opportunities.

IT + Wan Project Manager / Foreign Trade Asst | 08/2002 - 03/2004

Our company was the vanguard of their sector in Turkiye which was the importer and manufacturer of automated shutters for houses, automated roller shutter door systems for houses and industrial buildings such as warehouses, insect screen applications, and loading ramps. My role was to asist foreign trade operations and responsibility of the IT systems for regional offices in Turkiye. I leaded the implementation of Wide Area Network via Cisco Systems to minimize communication costs. But they put me off for while saying that they'd have a government supply for my position from KOSGEB (Association of Small and Mid Sized Bussiness Units) and didn't register me into National Security System (SSK). As soon as the position in TEBA has been offered to me, I resigned.
