I’m an international trade professional based between Turkey and Japan, working across market entry, sourcing, manufacturing, and international business development. My background combines over 5 years in international logistics (manager level) with hands-on experience in sourcing, supplier coordination, and export operations. Since 2015, I’ve been running my own trade agency, supporting companies with manufacturer sourcing, production coordination, and market entry. I’ve worked with clients across Europe, Turkey, and Japan, and I’m comfortable navigating different business cultures and supplier networks. My focus is on building reliable, long-term partnerships rather than one-off sourcing.
