Experience from the field, told through stories.

Every programme draws on real experience in the field and on client projects.

Muhammet Fidan graduated in Political Science and International Relations from Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University and completed a master's degree in Business and Management at Marmara University.

He began his career at Pfizer as a medical representative. After field sales he rotated through marketing, business development, compliance, sales and sales management; as Training and Development Manager he designed development programmes for senior and middle managers and the training structure of the whole organisation.

After Pfizer he became Training and Development Manager at Bayer, where he also led the company's Agile culture and organisational change as Scrum Master.

During the pandemic, seeing the crisis as an opportunity, he wrote his first book, İşin Rengi Değişti. Today he provides training, consulting and coaching, and is a co-founder of Endfy Teknoloji ve Danışmanlık A.Ş., which builds learning technology.
