Über mich
My professional journey spans across both domestic and international markets, where I've successfully promoted German-made furniture. I pride myself on exceptional customer service, fostering long-term relationships, and driving customer satisfaction. During my tenure as the owner of Brefeo Hanse GmbH, I developed a deep understanding of the furniture industry. My responsibilities involved furniture import, product sourcing, and the execution of project-based furniture manufacturing and sales. A key aspect of my role was liaising with architects to design and produce furniture that aligned with project specifications. At Roveyda Export&Import, I demonstrated versatility by managing the production of customized furniture, sourcing and exporting fuel pumps, and importing steel sheet rolls for Turkish wholesalers. In my role as Africa Continent Sales Manager for Gala Mobilya, I established new distribution channels, boosting exports by 40% across 20 countries
