Serkan MURSALLI

I met Deniz at the YBL Lead 21 program. My first feeling is that I'm glad we met you, Deniz. I would like to share with all my candor that she is one of the people who has always been by my side in my life journey, sheds light on me with her mentorship, and directs my career. Deniz is a very intellectual person. She has a lot of knowledge about business life and provides the opportunity to reveal her potentials by sharing her experiences in her life, directing the people she works with correctly. I consider myself lucky to have a mentor who can ask questions and support me whenever I get stuck.I wish this sincere communication to continue for a lifetime. Deniz is very forward-thinking, predicts the future well, and constantly invests in her personal development, learning and sharing her knowledge and thoughts, making these beauties grow even more.

Deniz is actually beyond descriptions. She is beyond, better and more deeper than the adjectives you think best fit for her. In professional life, She does not use cheap techniques, does not go over method that you as a manager or worker already know about, does not try to prove herself by doing too much, does not bore you or act like a teacher or superior to you... But rather she connects to you, understands your struggle and analyze it in a unique way that I haven't seen before in anyone in consultancy field. She uses state of art techniques with methods that would be suitable only for you, so every case is different for her. Her ability to connect one by one to different experiences is what makes her different than others. What is amazing that, your time with her pays off, pays off very quickly! The last time I contacted her, it was for a help I needed for network. She, instead, taught me how to make one rather than giving direct contacts. Now, only through her techniques, I have four times more clients than before. As for my personal connection with her, I feel more resilient, stronger and calm. Her life story was an inspiration that I will never forget. She and I have a matchless connection I felt the first time I saw her. Her sophisticated, decent, charming personality and uniqueness is easily recognized even in a huge crowd. Plus, she is genuinely fun to hang out with. She feels like a chosen one, and your experience either professional or personal will also make you feel special too. Deniz is a great guide and companion on a journey, I am happy and honored to meet her.

I have worked closely with Deniz during her engagement with IPE. Deniz was the Director of Delivery i.e she was in charge of consultancy team and also developing the business. She used to represent the company with EFQM and key clients such as Dolphin and Qatar Foundation. I found her talented, dedicated and passionate about what she does. She takes ownership and I used to reply on her with tough tasks. Yet she is very cheerful and charming personality. Her marketing skills as well as design skills are added values to her skill-set.
