What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to leverage my extensive experience in construction and business development while contributing to impactful projects.

I am a senior executive with over 35 years of international experience in construction projects, technical sales, project management, and business development across Turkey, Africa, and Central Asia. My expertise lies in luxury residential projects, site management, and multicultural team leadership, where I focus on delivering results and ensuring customer satisfaction.

Currently, I manage luxury villa and traditional stone house construction projects in Turkey, overseeing all aspects from budgeting to quality control. My previous roles have included significant positions such as Country Director in Cameroon, where I managed road construction projects worth over USD 150M, and as a freelance business development consultant, where I led market entry strategies in Central Asia. I am fluent in English and French, which enhances my ability to negotiate and communicate effectively in diverse environments.
