I had the pleasure of working with Serkan during my time with the GenOne Program at Infor. And amongst the group students that were part of my cohort, Serkan was one who left an indelible impression on both my mind and my heart. For starters, the man was dressed to the nines every single day (which was particularly inspiring to see on days when everybody else chose to show up casual). Serkan is one of the hardest workers I have ever met. I remember him arriving to class early every day, despite juggling a full academic schedule and full-time work outside of his time at Infor. But its not just the incredible work ethic that makes him so impressive- its his resilence. He meets challenges with a mindset that makes it clear he will not give up until it has found resolution. And if that wasnt' enough, Serkan's deliciously quick wit and refreshing sense of humor elevated the atmosphere for the entire group. I adore Serkan and it would be hard to articulate all the reasons that make him an asset to any team he's part of. I feel honored for the part I got to have in watching his growth and development as a person, as a businessman, and as a communicator. He's one of the good ones.

Over the past several years I have worked with Serkan on many large and complex projects. He is self-motivated with focused attention to detail and excellent organizational and management skills. His computer skills have been an invaluable asset when our projects required the use of technology applications. I highly recommend Serkan Kalfa for any position that requires a strong team player.
