Alper is Turkish for “courageous man”, story of my life indeed. I am an Industrial Engineer, exMcKinsey Project Manager and for the past 16 years work as a coach of teams and senior executives across the globe. I also work as Sum’s Learning Architect, designing creative and novel spaces, offerings and team journeys. My clients see my fire for their cause, love my multicultural background (Orient and Occident) and I love sharing my leadership lessons learned from the wisdom traditions of Turkey, Sufism, and Japan.
