Sevda Erensel

Managing Director/Istanbul

As managing director of The Willard Group's office in Istanbul, Turkey, Sevda Erensel is focused on working with the company's existing Turkish clients as well as bringing in new clients.

In Istanbul, Ms. Erensel is building a team of public relations professionals dedicated to extending The Willard Group's First Class Service concept to Turkey. Demonstrated by past and current performance, our group's credo is clear: we do more for our clients and provide a level of service that is truly "above and beyond" that found elsewhere.

At The Willard Group, our offices don't stand alone. Lest a client leader in Kiev has an issue that is best handled by a colleague in Moscow, they firmly rely on our network of intra-office collaboration. The Istanbul office is no exception.

The talents and capabilities of the entire firm are brought to bear on any particular client in Turkey.

Ms. Erensel has come to The Willard Group after 12 years with Capitol PR in Istanbul, where she most recently served as deputy general manager. In that capacity, she worked with clients from a wide range of industries including Astra Zeneca, Bell Helicopters, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bosch-Siemens-Gaggenau white goods, BP, Coca-Cola, Danone, Ford, Marks & Spencer, McDonald's, Microsoft, Nortel, PFI Doritos, Samsung, Unilever at both brand and corporate communication levels and WWF among others. In addition, she was responsible for major launches and events for clients such as Enka, Special Olympics, Orta Anadolu and Abdi Ibrahim Pharmaceuticals.

Prior to her public relations career, Ms. Erensel held management positions in multinational groups such as Moevenpick Hotels, Societe Generale Bank (Paris) and Foster Wheeler for 15 years. She holds a baccalaureate degree from Hacettepe University in Ankara.
