I'm a Hotel Asset Management and Revenue Strategy consultant with 18+ years of global experience managing hotel portfolios for Marriott International, Accor, Banyan Tree, Dusit, and Wyndham.
I hold a Certificate in Asset Management & Strategic Leadership from Cornell University and a Certified Revenue Management Executive (CRME) designation — giving me a rare combination of operator-level expertise and investor-aligned financial thinking.
What I do for hotel owners and investment groups:
Asset Performance Analysis — I assess your hotel's financial and commercial performance, identify revenue leakage, and build a clear roadmap to improve NOI and asset value.
Owner-Ready Financial Reporting — I design and deliver executive reports that give ownership groups full visibility into RevPAR performance, forecast accuracy, channel contribution, and profitability drivers.
Revenue & Pricing Strategy — From segmentation design and rate strategy to OTA management and direct booking growth, I optimize the commercial engine that drives asset returns.
Portfolio & Cluster Management — I've overseen multi-property portfolios generating $80M+ in annual revenue. I understand how to balance divergent investor objectives across property types simultaneously.
Brand Conversion & Repositioning — I've guided hotels through brand transitions and post-crisis repositioning, protecting and rebuilding asset value at critical inflection points.
My results speak for themselves:
+15% YoY total revenue growth across a $80M+ Marriott portfolio (Indonesia)
+20% total revenue and +10% ADR uplift at Accor Maldives — post-market repositioning
97–98% forecast accuracy across multiple portfolios using IDeaS, Duetto, and One Yield
2x brand contribution at Marriott — reducing OTA commission drag and improving net RevPAR
Led total revenue recovery strategy during COVID at Dusit Thani Maldives
Who I work with:
Hotel ownership groups and family offices seeking asset-level commercial advisory
Independent hoteliers who need a fractional revenue director without the full-time cost
Investment firms underwriting hotel acquisitions and needing operator-side due diligence
Management companies looking to improve portfolio RevPAR index performance
Systems I work with:
RMS: IDeaS G3, Duetto, One Yield, EZRMS, PriceLabs
PMS: Opera (v5 & Cloud), Protel, MEWS, Cloudbeds
BI & Analytics: Power BI, Google BI, advanced forecasting models
Distribution: SynXis, OTA Insight, channel managers
I work on project, retainer, or fractional engagement models and operate globally (remotely).

I'm an FMCG/CPG professional with 12+ years of experience, combining global corporate strategy with hands-on founder execution.
For nearly 8 years at Colgate-Palmolive I worked in commercial analytics, key account management, and global category strategy — leading a region, delivering record market shares in key retailers, and co-developing an Assortment Optimization Tool used globally.
As founder of Lumina Brands, I then built consumer brands from scratch: product development and sourcing in China, customs and logistics, a key retailer listing and e-commerce — owning the full P&L and budget. I know what it takes to turn a plan into real sell-through.
I can help with: product & category strategy, pricing & assortment optimization, go-to-market & retail launch, Amazon/e-commerce growth, China sourcing, and market/competitor analysis.
I would love to support you in growing your business. Please feel free to reach out.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Mert and his team helped us scale from six figures to seven figures in under a year. I’m looking forward to continuing our work together.”
I help founders and teams make better marketing decisions.
My background combines big-brand experience with hands-on execution. I became the youngest Marketing Manager at Nike Inc. globally, and over the last decade, I’ve advised more than 50 companies across branding, positioning, content, campaigns, and growth strategy.
I’ve managed over $50M in marketing and branding budgets, but more importantly, I understand how to connect strategy to execution and how to build marketing that fits the stage, budget, and ambition of the business.
I typically help clients with:
✅ Clarifying brand positioning
✅ Building practical marketing strategies
✅ Creating stronger messaging and copy
✅ Shaping content and campaign direction
✅ Finding what’s not working and fixing it
I’m not interested in vague recommendations or generic decks. I focus on work that gives a business more clarity, better communication, and a stronger path forward.
If you’re looking for a strategic partner who can think deeply and execute well, you've found it.

I am a fashion expert with over 19 years of experience in design, education, and management. My career has evolved from hands-on fashion design roles to training the next generation as a fashion design instructor at leading institutions.
I help fashion brands transform creative ideas into commercially strong, scalable, and production-ready collections. By working at the intersection of creative direction, product development, and sourcing, I bridge the gap between vision and real-world production.
I specialize in activewear design and have advanced expertise in womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, and knitwear. I actively use 3D design tools to develop innovative, efficient, and production-ready collections.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with brands and organizations across Europe, including Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, and Denmark. Some of the brands I have worked with include Zara, Mango, Stradivarius, LPP Group (Reserved,mohito), River Island, Next, Peacocks, Bestseller, S.Oliver, Cache Cache, Jennyfer, phildar, Camaieu, Armantory, NA-KD, Mavi Jeans, and Koton.
I served as a Design Manager at Beşiktaş Sports Club for 3 years, where I developed collections across womenswear, menswear, and childrenswear categories. During this time, I designed official jerseys for 3 seasons in collaboration with Adidas, as well as uniforms for amateur branches such as basketball and volleyball. I also created womenswear and menswear collections for the club’s activewear line.
In addition to my design work, I provide design and collection consultancy for emerging brands and startups, offering creative direction, technical support, and guidance throughout the entire product development process.
Based in Istanbul, I have strong connections with a wide network of manufacturers. I manage the design and sampling process end-to-end and guide projects up to the sampling stage. While I do not directly manage bulk production, I provide control and coordination support to ensure everything progresses correctly and efficiently.
My technical expertise includes creating 2D technical drawings and 3D models, developing detailed tech packs, guiding fabric sourcing and selection, and defining construction techniques and hardware details. I also provide direction on print, embroidery, and other application techniques, ensuring that designs are not only visually strong but also fully feasible for production.
With a strong attention to detail and the ability to guide teams effectively, I deliver innovative results that strengthen brand identity. I have extensive experience managing the full design process—from concept development and artwork creation to sampling and pre-production control.
I don’t just design products; I help build systems that work.
My strength lies in combining creative vision, commercial awareness, and production reality to transform ideas into collections that are not only visually compelling but also producible, scalable, and aligned with business goals.
Whether you are looking for strong design, professional training, or a strategic approach to collection development, I am here to support your vision. Let’s connect and bring your fashion ideas to life.
