Serkan brings more than 15 years of extensive international experience in such automotive domains as In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems, connectivity, telematics and mobility services in both, sales and business development roles. During that time he gained invaluable insights working with OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and with the Tier I suppliers. Previously, Mr. Arslan held top management positions at the leading automotive companies, such as Daimler and Delphi. He also has vast experience in business consulting helping major OEM’s develop new markets in the EMEA region.
