I graduated from a top business school in Turkey and completed my training with a master's degree in finance and accounting. I worked at Danone for eight years in both Turkey and France. I seized a number of opportunities during that period, working in finance, controlling and project management, but it was time to broaden my horizon and experiment with a different corporate culture, another business model. I chose Bel because of its brands and drive for international growth. It was made clear to me during my job interviews that new tools needed to be put into place, and I found the challenge exciting. In 2009, I joined Bel as a group manager, where I manage a team of three people responsible for group controlling. We work internationally with all the subsidiaries.

Bel makes me smile. Beyond the reference to the company's identity, I've noticed that Bel employees are a positive and constructive lot. Those qualities allow us to make headway together, while maintaining a good work atmosphere. And Bel has created new opportunities for me. I will soon take the reins as chief financial officer in my home country of Turkey.

I think it's how we improved our budget process. When I arrived, preparing the budget was a long and tedious task for our employees. To make improvements, and in particular to simplify everybody's job, we got together and found solutions for streamlining the process. As a result, the process is faster, the budget is more complete and the improvement was warmly received by our employees.
