I my previous job as the head of a German industrial group, I had the good fortune to work with Ozan Cakitli, who helped us to establish a new sales and service company in Turkey. He came on board as our first employee in the country, managed all planning and logistical aspects of the start-up. This included not only scouting a suitable office location in the Istanbul area, but also arranging all paperwork to get the company operating, and to hire the first employees. The business went on to generate substantial growth. All this was possible because Ozan Cakitli demonstrated exceptional technological expertise, but also, more importantly, excellent people skills and acted in a thoroughly professional manner. Thank you for this collaboration, and I can highly recommend Ozan Cakitli for his expertise and his service.
