I have known Ahmet for over a decade. He has an extremely wide business network with highly respected and influential key players in the tech and real estate arena particularly in the MENA region. His entrepreneurial track record of scaling businesses and exit, coupled with his energy, focus and enthusiasm make him a highly sought after partner/mentor. He would be a great asset to have on any board.
