What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role in business development where I can leverage my extensive experience to drive growth and innovation.

I am a seasoned business development consultant with extensive experience in the oil and gas industry, particularly in sales management and strategic partnerships. My recent role at Durmaz & Koç Oil GMBH involved setting up a business model for DKV fuel cards in Turkey, where I conducted market research and developed partnerships across Europe. Previously, as General Manager at Castrol Ukraine, I successfully managed a team of 16 and achieved a turnover of 16 million Euros, demonstrating my capability in driving business growth in competitive markets.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership positions, including Network Business Development Manager and Real Estate Team Lead at Shell & Turcas Petrol A.S. I have a proven track record of managing complex projects, such as the merger of Shell & Turcas Petrol A.Ş. and Shell Gas Turkey, where I led change management and compliance initiatives. My educational background in Industrial Engineering from Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi complements my practical experience, enabling me to approach challenges with analytical rigor and strategic insight.
