About

Official mandate,
corporate experience

My understanding of Germany comes from experience, not textbooks. I was born and raised in Cologne. Germany isn't a target market for me — it's the country I grew up in. I lived its language, its culture, and its way of doing business first-hand. After studying economics at the University of Kansas in the US, I moved to Türkiye and built my career between exactly these two worlds.

For 15 years I worked at the German-Turkish Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AHK). Over those years I stood beside hundreds of companies as they entered and grew in new markets — both strategically and operationally. From finding the right business partners and sitting across from public officials, to navigating customs, tax and legal frameworks — always in the room, never from a distance.

Since 2022 I've been the official representative of Hamburg Invest in Türkiye, and since 2025 of WTSH, the investment agency of Schleswig-Holstein. As the only person in Türkiye representing both institutions simultaneously, I offer you not just information but direct corporate access.

If you want to expand into Germany, I'm your point of contact.

Five areas.
One goal.

Every engagement ends with a concrete deliverable.

01
Company formation in Germany

GmbH, UG or branch office — which structure is right for you? Hamburg Invest and WTSH's institutional knowledge and local networks are with you at every step of the formation process.

02
Residence permit & Blue Card

The company is set up — but what about your legal right to be in Germany? Does §21 Founder Visa or §18g Blue Card fit your situation? Through Hamburg Invest and WTSH's official channels, we strengthen your application during the Türkiye-side process.

Free Consultation
03
Location & investment incentives

Hamburg or Schleswig-Holstein? We identify the right region based on your sector, budget and growth plan. Through Hamburg Invest and WTSH's local networks, we directly research office, warehouse and production facility options, rental terms and government incentives.

Corporate network & direct access

We provide access to IHKs, industry associations and investment promotion agencies through Hamburg Invest and WTSH's official channels. Meeting the right person at the right time can launch your first contracts in days, not weeks.

Company acquisition in Germany

Instead of starting from scratch, acquiring an established German company — with its existing customer base, trained workforce and established market position. Hamburg Invest and WTSH's first-orientation service for the succession process, alongside chambers of commerce (IHK) and the official succession exchanges. We assess opportunities matching your sector and budget together.
