Erkan TÜRKER

As an experienced professional in the automotive industry, I have spent 17 years honing my skills in production, R&D and aftersales. My passion for this dynamic and ever-evolving field has led me to complete a PhD program in Automotive Engineering at Uludag University.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with top brands(Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Jeep), gaining valuable knowledge and expertise in various aspects of the automotive industry. From designing and manufacturing vehicles to ensuring exceptional customer satisfaction in aftersales services, I have consistently strived for excellence in every role I have taken on.

My strong background in engineering, combined with my hands-on experience in the automotive industry, has equipped me with a deep understanding of the technical and operational aspects of this sector. I am constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities to enhance my skills and knowledge, and I am always eager to take on new projects that push the boundaries of innovation.

In addition to my technical skills, I am a strong leader and team player, with a proven track record of effectively managing cross-functional teams and driving successful projects to completion. I am also an effective communicator, able to build strong relationships with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders at all levels.
