TOBB TRADE CENTER – CHICAGO · ILLINOIS, USA
From: Sep 2019 – Mar 2023
About TOBB Trade Center:
TOBB TTC is a trade center set up to launch Turkish companies in the US. This organization is supported and partially funded by its parent company TOBB and the Turkish ministry of commerce.
What I did for TOBB Trade Center:
I was literally involved at each and every steps of the US entity’s formation and launch. After being selected to run the business start up operations in the US, I was intimately involved in all the aspects of forming and launching the company from location selection, building internal office and warehouse design, IT and Security selection and setup, operations process selection and setup, HR processes set up, creating third party service provider relationships.
Day to day direct involvement in the general management, business strategy, digital marketing, planning and organization, marketing and branding, legal advice and support, managing third party service providers, finance and accounting, risk mitigation and management, interaction with member customers, support to all the business departments, to name few of the activities I successfully accomplished during my involvement with TOBB TC.
Beside the internal company management tasks and duties, I also intimately mentored and supported the launch of nearly a hundred TOBB TC member companies. From forming their companies to creating their US marketing identity, adapting their brand to the US market (digital brand identity, website adaptation), educating them about the US business culture, helping them adapt their product and/or services to the US market needs (market fit), and many other cross-functional support for their adaptation to the US.
In fact there are many other functions I supported during my involvement with TOBB Trade Center, too many to list here.
