Ümit Subasi

I am not a consultant or a generic advisor that acts on theory and says all things politically correct. I'm also not a life coach who’ll help you unlock your “inner-authentic-connected selves” and similar, no offense... I just take great interest in how to actually run a business and sustain a high performance culture, consistently delivering results over time.

What I bring to the table is my real-life leadership experience through several CEO roles with global enterprises all around the world. I combine that with my voluntary experience in emergency services which provides me with unique set of skills when it comes to leadership, planning, execution and communication.

As a pragmatic all-rounder with a no-BS approach, I value most the people & work culture aspects in a business, simply because those are the most critical performance drivers. I maintain a good sense of humour, and enjoy what I'm doing. I operate with a codex of values & principles, and my utmost priority will be helping you to achieve your business and/or personal goals with a highly personalized approach.

I have an extensive knowledge of Emerging Markets and International operations. I specialize in critical turn-arounds, global expansion, brand building and creating high-performance cultures with a growth mindset. Through my international network, access to the right resources and the ability to connect the dots across any business challenge, I can help you to deal with complexity in a simple fashion.  

Whether it's about formulating a business strategy, designing & implementing a new operating model, enabling innovation, creating a route-to-market strategy, establishing operations in emerging markets, overseeing non-organic business development, financial performance issues, leadership development, dealing with cultural complexities, strategic planning or executive coaching, I can be the right partner to tackle the challenges and opportunities; and to ultimately grow your business.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch for a non-binding conversation to see if we can build any synergies.
