Corporate Roles

I Don't Just Teach It — I've Led It, and Still Do

My training and consulting work is grounded in the executive roles I hold today and the leadership responsibilities I have undertaken throughout my career.

​

My Current Roles

SKF Global Holding

Vice President

An executive role within a holding company delivering construction, project development and procurement solutions across Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Americas.

This role is the current source of the advice I give on international project development and market-entry strategy.

TABA-AmCham

High Advisory Board Member

I sit on the High Advisory Board of the Turkish-American Business Association, which I led as president from 2014 to 2016.

I also continue to moderate panels at the association's events.

PREVIOUS LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE

Leadership Roles I Have Held

Ustaoğlu Madencilik

General Manager · 2010-2016

I ran aggregates and construction-materials production at our family company of more than 50 years — the field where my career began and where my roots are.

Running a manufacturing company end to end — budgets, shifts, supply and people — is the foundation of the leadership programmes I teach.

TABA-AmCham

President · 2014-2016

I joined the Turkish-American Business Association in 1996; after serving as general secretary and board member, I was elected president unanimously in 2014 and served for two years.

I still moderate panels at the association's events — most recently in May 2025 on "Turkish-American Relations: Brand Strategy, Economic Trends and Financial Cooperation".

AGÜB

President · 2014-2016

As president of the Aggregate Producers Association I represented the sector nationally and worked on raising its standards.

Turkish Appraisers Association

Board Member

Contributing to the professionalisation of real estate valuation in Türkiye and to the development of professional standards.

What My Executive Experience Brings to My Consulting

My corporate training and consulting are grounded in first-hand executive experience. I led a manufacturing company from end to end for six years, and today I oversee project development within an international holding company.

This means the challenges discussed in the training room are never merely theoretical to me. Difficult conversations, stalled negotiations and critical decisions in contracting markets are situations I have faced—and managed—throughout my career.
