Bio
Betül Buke Karaçin
Zahide is one of my colleagues that we worked side by side for years in the same department at Ministry of Economy. She is well experienced in strategy planning, implementation and follow ups. She is really organized, insightful and positive in carrying out different tasks simultaneously. She naturally has good interpersonal skills and capable of easily adapting new working environments and people. She would be an asset for any team she involved and my individual experience to work with her was a pleasure.

I worked with Zahide in many projects at the Ministry of Economy both as a team member and as a superior. Most of these projects required strict coordination, teamwork, project management and leadership skills. As a proactive and goal-oriented team player, Zahide is always motivated and brings a unique perspective to the projects she is leading. More importantly, she is always ready to step out of her comfort zone to learn new things, and strives to deliver more than what is asked from her. She is also fun to work.
