Over Atakan

After 15+ years working across Europe and Southeast Asia, in FMCG multinationals, travel industry, and businesses built from scratch, the pattern keeps repeating: a market underperforming, margins eroding, a portfolio that no longer reflects real demand, and nobody quite sure why. That is where the most interesting work tends to happen.

Diagnosing what is actually broken in a commercial system and rebuilding the pricing, portfolio, and margin architecture behind it. Not consulting from a distance, but getting into the numbers, building the frameworks, and making it stick.

The work has ranged from repositioning €120M+ FMCG categories and restructuring travel portfolios in multinationals, to building commercial models from scratch in businesses with no structure at all.

Different scale, same diagnostic approach.

    • • Founded a luxury villa rental and property management business on the French Riviera (Cote d'Azur), building it from zero to 20+ properties and 150-200 seasonal bookings annually with full P&L ownership.

    • • Executed vertical integration of linen and housekeeping services, bringing a high-frequency operational dependency in-house to improve service reliability and reduce unit costs, delivering over 40 percentage points margin improvement.
