I was born in 1981 in Kirklareli. I finished my BA degree in Art History. Following my studies I started working as a tour guide. Over the initial years of my career, my job as a guide evolved into more of a salesman selling tours. This was due to my success as a promoted of the tours I was guiding. Being a good salesman requires talent, communicative skills and ambition, all of which I possess.
Being a tour guide also helped me develop my language skills. I learned English during my stuides and had many chances to use it while working as a tour guide. I am fluent in English now thanks to my academic and professional background.
Having realised my success as a salesman, I applied for a salesman position at Bayern Pharma in Turkey. I worked at Bayern for more than 14 years now. I was aware that it took more than just my salesman skills to be successful and remarkable at an international pharmaceutical giant, I developed my skills by participating in as many trainings as possible. These include a wide range of trainings, such as stress management, communicative skills, presentation skills, strategic thinking and many others. I have been involved in corporate projects and had been a part of important decisions taken and procedures conducted. I have received many awards for my in-company success, which are also mentioned on my CV. This was one of the many reasons why I was employed by Bayern for nearly a decade and a half. This was thanks to my willingness to develop myself and opportunities provided by a corporate company.
In 2019, I have decided it is time to take the next step. Having done extensive research and assessments, I found the UK to be the most suitable place to actualise my business ideas. I would like to use my sales and marketing experience in a country with a big economy presenting many opportunities for entrepreneur minded people like me. Focusing on the health sector due to my professional experience, I looked into global macro trends and dived into the UK market for a micro trends research. This way I was able to identify that natural wellness products and supplements is a trending market in the UK, just like it is globally.
