It has been admirable how Ulvi Aydin, without any tools - but with a keen sense for the people in the room and a healthy sense of humor - has encouraged numerous CEOs from global companies to exchange ideas. Within seconds. In a nutshell. Without any frills.
"We had to part with our former managing director of one of our subsidiaries in Germany. In order to have enough time to search for a successor to this challenging position, we have decided to work with Mr. Ulvi AYDIN for the umpteenth time.
Mr. AYDIN had already shown in his first assignment for the ERBER Group that he is a "people mover" and was again able to convince not only because of his extremely professional approach. He led the company as if it were his own and made decisions in our sense immediately and above all sustainable. We can rightly refer to Mr AYDIN as a full member and confidant of our team.
We thank him very much for his dedication and would be glad if we can continue to count on Mr. AYDIN if necessary."
Lead, follow or get out of the way! That was the first thing I read about Ulvi and at first it confused me, kind of put me off. Will he be overstraining me and my team? And is he really the right one for us?
After working with him for almost 6 months, I can say YES! Without him, we would not have gotten to where we are now so incredibly fast. Ulvi is brutally honest, thinks with lightning speed and always - always - puts the positive aspects in the foreground. He gives his considerable knowledge and experience to anyone who wants it. He makes me a little bit better every day. I like that!
"A strong analyst who parses existing structures and processes with the economic and technical expertise to identify vulnerabilities. The deficits are not communicated to the organization negatively as errors, but as a challenge to work on and thus prevent future errors and use them as a positive drive for improvement.
A very valued business partner in the company, who attempts to reconcile the needs of all departments using a holistic approach. The financial sector sees itself as a seriously taken, esteemed supporter and right hand of senior management.
"An experienced interim manager who is more than just that – a distinguished colleague and team member, who is goal-oriented and fun to be with while going through the current challenging times at Poggemeier, rising together to the resulting tasks.
An analyst and sales professional who wears his heart on his sleeves. A tough but fair guy. A networker and soul catcher, who drives topics without rest and infects everyone. A colleague and partner with entrepreneurial expertise and vision.
"It is fascinating to see how Ulvi Aydin embodies his profession. He motivates his staff to achieve excellent results without it being hard for employees to follow him. He is a tough businessperson who always solves his tasks in a fair, just and extremely structured way.
It is a pleasure to work alongside Ulvi Aydin. Through his high level of commitment, he is a role model for every company. In the companies where Ulvi Aydin is involved, considerable added value is produced for the individual company within a very short time.
"Outstanding motivator of employees to achieve maximum performance. Sets high expectations for his employees and external consultants, but he exemplifies them himself. The human being is central, but does not stand in the way. Has the ability to bring about real change management in a holistic manner and with high sustainability.
"Ulvi is a manager who takes the people around him seriously, asks questions, and listens – and has confidence in them. He is able to break old thought patterns and motivate people to harness the creative power of their minds (Sapere Aude – dare to use your mind). He does not shy away from addressing unpleasant topics, but does so in a way that is always solution-oriented and not demeaning.
Moreover, he is an orderly efficiency fanatic – and thus contributed, among other things, to increasing efficiency in the office! One of the most important people I have had the pleasure to meet!"
"I have known Ulvi AYDIN for almost 25 years, and during this time, I had the opportunity to work closely with Ulvi AYDIN twice over a period of several years.
Ulvi AYDIN is a manager who has a special gift to develop visions and implement them together with his team. He exemplifies loyalty, integrity, and fairness – and expects this from his environment. He manages with great openness and understands that praise and motivation are essential for his employees to achieve expected objectives.
In critical situations, Ulvi AYDIN displays the necessary creativity and assertiveness. He works purposefully and fast. His tremendous detailed knowledge of each sector and his great network of customers, suppliers, and other business partners help him in this.
I have always very much admired his extraordinary eloquence, which he demonstrated in several languages. Moreover, his immense general knowledge, common sense, commitment in dealing with colleagues and business partners, as well as his sense of human sentiments must be emphasized. In addition, he has a keen sense of humor, which makes dealing and cooperating with Ulvi AYDIN even more desirable.
"I have met Ulvi many times over the years, and our encounters have always been very friendly and refreshing! I appreciate his positive attitude and his way of captivating and inspiring people for his ideas.
