Today I am celebrating my ninth anniversary at BICON AG and looking back with pride on an exciting and educational journey.

My career began as an apprentice bricklayer and reinforced concrete builder. Even during my apprenticeship, I was allowed to contribute to the tasks of site management and assist the site managers. This early responsibility and the experience associated with it have decisively shaped my professional career.

Following my apprenticeship, I completed my further training to become a Master Bricklayer and Reinforced Concrete Builder. In this role, I took on my first civil engineering construction sites and managed them as a site manager. This phase was intense, but it provided me with the necessary tools to ultimately take on responsibility for larger projects and the site managers themselves as a project manager.

Today, I am pleased to lead the operational business of Dumlupinar Holding. I look back with pride on the strong development of our corporate group and look forward to many more successful years.

Entering professional life was fast-paced and I was thrown in at the deep end. But it was precisely these challenges that made me learn a lot in a short space of time and grow continuously.

Special thanks go to my mentor Cem Dumlupinar for the trust and support along this path.

A huge thank you to everyone who has accompanied and supported me along this journey. Here's to the next successful years together!
