When it comes to discovering new business opportunities and implementing them with appropriate talents, then Cengiz is the one to do it.

He is a true serial entrepreneur and businessman with a heart and soul. With more than 15 years of experience in entrepreneurship, he has access to a large and excellent network in the areas of business and investor relations. His entrepreneurial career actually began even before his actual professional life when, at the age of only 16, he was already pulling the strings of his parental facility management business, taking care of the financials and leading up the business to a 7-figure annual revenue.

In 2001, he founded his first own company: an online marketing agency in Coburg, which he later relocated to Berlin because of economic prospects. Meanwhile, the small agency has become a very successful company employing more than 50 people.

Followed by the foundation of clipkit GmbH in Berlin in 2008 another milestone in his entrepreneurial career has been set. The start-up quickly made its mark in the ad-tech industry, attracted the interest of big investors, and subsequently demanded his full attention as founder and CEO.
He led the start-up to a company with 60 employees and then successfully transferred it to Zoom.in B.V (Modern Times Group) in 2016, where he was responsible as Managing Director DACH until the end of 2018.

Cengiz is our expert in entrepreneurship, start-ups and investment, bringing valuable, long-term and hands-on experience in these areas. Furthermore, organizational and process optimization in sales (Sales Excellence) are part of his strengths. His special expertise is to discover new business opportunities and to contribute perfectly with his network in the areas of business and investor relations for building up a new company.
He advises our clients as an experienced professional in small and medium-sized start-ups and investments and can also fall back on experience in succession planning.

Prior to his career as an entrepreneur, Cengiz completed an apprenticeship as a Tax Consultant (StFA) and started his professional career in sales at JobScout24 GmbH (previously innoware GmbH / jobsuche.de) and quickly became a top seller and Head of Call Center Services. At that time he was one of the first employees and contributed significantly to the success of the company.
