Managing Director & Partner, BCG

“Ayse was Parisima’s Operations Director when I joined them as an Associate back in 2015. I can safely say that she has been one of the most influential people in my career. Ayse took the time out of her own busy schedule to train me up and get me up to the speed that was essential in such a fast paced environment. The years I was with the company, she was widely known as “The Fixer” or the “Winston Wolf” of the company. She lead the unbelievable culture that we were lucky enough to have at Parisima and was a pretty good recruiter too. Anyone considering working for/ with or partnering with Ayse should stop considering and just do it!”

"I met Ayse when she led the implementation of an RPO to augment our own TA team. The requirement was urgent due to an unexpected upturn in work. The implementation was seamless and results were immediate. Ayse has fantastic client relationship management skills, spends time understanding a business and its culture in order to identify the right talent, builds great teams and is truly a pleasure to work with. She is also a wonderful human being."
