Tek kelime: efsane! Dil, yerelleştirme ve pazarlama alanlarında öyle tutkulu, hevesli ve çalışkan ki, Mehmet ile hem iş birliği yapmak hem de sohbet etmek çok zevkli. Geleceği pasparlaktır. Türkiye'de de, Avrupa'da da gerçekten bir mücevher. Yolu hep açık olsun.

Mehmet Ali is an organized, reliable and responsible intellectual. I always find myself admiring his knowledge about history, translation, localization, sales... You name it, he is ready to give a lecture about it. He is passionate about sharing his experiences in a way that educates young workers, like myself. He has a special gift to inspire and motivate those around him. He is always up-to-date with the sector, and good at seizing opportunities. He is always looking for ways to improve himself and is constatly coming up with new projects. What sets him aside, is that he follows up with those projects and he gives them his all. It is honestly a pleasure to work with him.
