is traditional Turkish breakfast- fried egg, olives, white cheese, honey with a big cup of tea. However, I do not have time for this during weeks days but try to enjoy my breakfast during weekends

get a big cup of coffee as soon as I arrive and have a catch up with Murat to align on our plan for the day/week and then check my emails and catch- up with the day ahead.

my main role is to lead the reporting and budgeting process and requirements for the DMC business across the global. I also act as the main contact with the group controlling team for representing the MPI

my visit to Munich and Malta where I had the opportunity to meet personally with my team, and my coworkers

right after I joined I applied for a Schengen visa to be able to have a visit to the FTI head office and DMC destinations to meet with my stakeholders. However, with having 3 visa rejections it took for me more than 4 months to have that visa  Finally. I achieved to have the visa, but from a country where we do not have a MPI organization 
