I was born in Yugoslavia. After Yugoslavia collapsed, I was told me that we are not Yugoslavians anymore. Now we all were fresh Macedonian citizens. I agreed.
I was born in a communist country, after the collapse, I was told that now we all are capitalists. I agreed.
Capitalism was not enough, everything had to be privatized. We had to believe in open-market and laissez faire economy. I agreed again.
After graduated from "Josip Broz" high school, I was told that studying "business" is the new trend. I agreed.
At a age of 17, I Left my hometown (Skopje) and went to Ankara for my undergraduate studies.. I started my undergraduate studies in Bilkent University, at the Faculty of Management.
Latter was told that paying for school is good but not paying is better. I agreed again and received scholarship for academic excellence. Yes, not paying was much better :).
Received my BA in Management from Bilkent University in the year of 2001. Graduated in Dean's honour list.
I was told that having an MBA degree is a big plus. I agreed again. Went overseas for my MBA studies.
I Received my MBA degree from a TOP Management school - Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University; OH State in the year of 2003.
I am a research based consultant residing in Istanbul. Nobody told me to become one, my own choice :).
I am researching & consulting for some major clients in Turkey.. I have tripled my portfolio of clients in the last 3 years.
I got married with Başak Karaca at 07.07.2007, which most probably was my best decission ever..
