The second guest of our conversations with career pioneers was Mesa Mesken A.Ş. Vice President of the Executive Board Evren Ünver. Mr. Ünver began the conversation by explaining how he started his career at the Andersen Consulting company after completing his graduate and post-graduate studies abroad in the field of business administration. He said that the basis of engineering is problem solving, which he learned and enjoyed a lot during his career at different companies.

Mr. Ünver mentioned that there is a good deal of companies which are not managed professionally. Starting from this point of view Mr. Ünver has initiated a private company together with his friends. He stressed that they have penetrated the market with a capital of 44 million in 1999 with only 5 companies as client. He said that they have also tried sectors they were not acquainted with, that they have benefited from the experiences of professionals and made the right decisions by commissioning the right people.

Mr. Ünver continued the conversation by answering the questions of the students and indicated that Turkey and the world is going through an interesting period with lots of new opportunities in the markets even though the level of risk is not negligible. He recommended the students to hold on to their ideas until they find the right investors.
