+ I worked as the Account Manager of oil & energy, FMCG, health care, retail and chemical enterprises in the Marmara Region. As their account manager I helped them manage their logistics in all aspects - air, sea, land, project, break-bulk cargoes, regular a nd ad-hoc inquiries and tender management. + I also worked in a business development setting, where I placed our turn-key logistics solutions to meet the customers' business as well as their logistics requirements.+ In addition to the current customer portfolio, I expanded the outreach of the company to the companies who were not currently DHL's customers.

Smart Logistics+ I expanded the company's existing operations to Africa region.+ From a business development perspective, I set up B2B relations with the customers to help reduce costs in other departmenst/operations (e.g. truck fleet spare parts) of the company.

Arkas Shipping & Transport S.A.+ The success of the Business Development Department resulted in backlogged cargo, which in turn forced the company to close the division and divert the efforts to existing sales and operations. I have been appointed as Marketing and Sales Manager for North Africa, West Mediterranean and Portugal ports.+ With my team, we have increased the marketing efforts and worked on expanding the business. The first success of my team was to add Annaba (Algeria) to the existing calls. The success was continued with establishing direct service to Casablanca (Morocco), adding Setubal call to existing Portugal service, adding Fos-sur-mer call to France service.+ The continuous marketing efforts helped Arkas Line expand the services further to West Africa (ports in Canary Islands, Moroccan Sahara, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Gabon and Mauritania).

Marguisa Line+ With Marguisa Line, we have starting making calls to Bata and Malabo (Equatorial Guinea).

Deutsche Afrika Linien+ As Arkas Shipping has made the agency agreement with Deutsche Afrika-Linien (DAL), I was appointed as the Sales and Marketing Manager. With DAL, we have started calling South African ports (Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and Durban).+ In April 2013, as per Arkas Holding's centralization strategy a new Sales and Marketing Manager was appointed in Izmir.

Arkas Shipping & Transport S.A.+ As Arkas Line has expanded capacity of the vessels, both in vessel size and number of calls, we have added the high-volume clients from the competition. Additionally, freight forwarders are visited and added to the portfolio, ensuring that the vessel capacity is always maximized.

Arkas Shipping & Transport S.A.+ The success of the Libyan service brought establishment of field sales executive positions in Arkas Shipping, covering all lines represented (Arkas Line, Tarros, Hanjin and Yang Ming Lines) and all ports served. I have worked as a field sales executive and made +2000 customer visits during the period. The number of customers are shippers, no freight forwarders are visited.+ During the period, low-volume shippers were added to all lines' customer portfolios. This brought diverse customer profiles to the services, effectively reducing the risk of adhering to specific customers.+ Diversification of the customer profile for all ports ensured that the vessels were always full. This resulted in backlogged cargo and forced many lines out of competition in the ports served and the big lines to lower rates in order to compete.

Arkas Shipping & Transport S.A.+ I have worked as the team leader for all North Africa, West Mediterranean (Spain and France, excluding Italy) and Portugal ports. + With my team we established first Arkas Line direct Libya service to Tripoli and Benghazi ports. Shipments took off from 150 TEU per month to about +600 TEU. The success of the team pushed Arkas Line to add Misurata call, and the team brought more than +300 TEU to the service, making it one of the star services of Arkas Line since.

+ I have worked as export marketing lead for Italy, Egypt (direct services), Spain, Morocco, Tunisia, Malta, Libya and Algeria (via La Spezia, Italy).+ I have focused on the clients utilizing road transports and converted the road transport to door to door container shipments for Italy shipments.+ Monthly shipments took off from 100 TEU per month to 1000 TEU per month (all ports, 60%-80% of the figures are Italy shipments) during 1998 - 2008 period.
