“To me, Business Beyond Borders means drawing on the rich heritage of Turkish culture and bringing that spirit into the business world. It is about setting higher standards in financial solutions and delivering returns that go beyond expectations. It is also about guiding local companies to grow into internationally respected players, combining friendship with business, and building relationships and results that endure over time.”
