Cem Koçak's Story
Having graduated from Boğaziçi University, Department of Civil Engineering, I have been active in business life since 1986. I started my professional career as a project manager in my profession, and over time, I increased my experience in production, purchasing and marketing, and continued my professional life as General Manager and Board Member.
In 1995, my wife and I founded a consultancy company, where we started to provide business development consultancy to corporations, internationalisation services for foreign government agencies and the third sector, helping companies that want to do business in a new country to identify business partners. We are part of an active consultancy network in 72 countries, especially in Spain and Italy, active in business life, Basque, Aragon, Navarra, Rioja, Andalucia, Sabadell, Bologna, Lombardia, Parma, Veneto.
Since 2009, we have developed our services in the field of education and I have become an Accredited Consultant on education in Canada and I have been providing University/College counselling to students from Spain and Turkey. As a businessman who has been educated and experienced business life in Turkey with our life experience in Canada/Toronto, where we moved with my family in 2013, we try to share our knowledge with our families from Turkey.
As the most important of his personal acquisitions, I can share with you my crossing the Atlantic Ocean with a sailing boat at the end of 2014. Also, since 2016, I have been working as a volunteer in the Toronto Police / Marine department, trying to contribute as much as possible in my free time to my neighbourhood.
