Bio
Bob Motto ボブ・モットー
I have had the pleasure of working with Ilker for over two years now, during this time I have seen him promoted to Corporate & International Sales Manager for Euroasia where he has worked well at driving his sales team forward with the adoption of Salesforce.com. Ilker provides & shares a wealth of knowledge with his team ensuring they have the support & coaching required to perform well in their day to day sales engagements with their portfolio of customers. He is respected well within the organization & achieves results through being focused & drive. His knowledge of the territory is of a high quality which he is able to use for strategic planning & business decisions. Ilker is a great asset to the company & I would recommend Ilker to any organization that is looking for a professional member to join their sales management team & I would gladly work with him again in the future.

Ilker is one of the gifted people I had chance to work with. As a sales manager he has great ability to communicate with people. He listens, understands and persuades. With deep technical background and ability to grasp new technologies, he can identify the problems and sells the perfect solution. With a persistent and result oriented focus, he manages to close deals even under high pressure. Unexpected from such a technical and sales oriented person, Ilker also is a talented designer. With strong understanding of business needs, he can target his creativity for the perfect result. While eyes can see his creativity, only technical minds can appreciate the technology lies behind those creations. I will miss every second of all those fun times we had worked together, and looking forward to do it again.
