World's Best CEO 2009 award goes to Turkcell's Sureyya Ciliv

Turkcell was my first employer after graduation and I was thrilled with the energy of that world-class team. On a period of increasing local competition, Turkcell continued to differentiate itself by investing at new businesses and technologies. Tone&Win one of the products I've also worked for at mobile marketing team was a real risk but also a unique approach to push innovation envelope particularly at mobile advertising. Today I've learned that Turkcell's CEO has received the WCA 2009 award and was shown as the best CEO of 2009. And early this year Turkcell was listed in Infotech 100 list with its exceptional performance during global recession. I do believe that "taking no risk" is the real risk that companies should avoid to take in that era and am very happy to see such successful risk-takers from my country. Congrats Turkcell and thanks for your significant contribution to mobile space !
