Erdem Özden 2023 Update
The year 2024 has been a busy yet incredibly rewarding year for me, both personally and professionally. From exciting travels to significant career milestones, here are some of the highlights:
Travel and New Experiences
This year, I had the opportunity to visit Munich, Berlin, Budapest, Italy, and Vienna at different times. Each destination offered unique experiences, enriching my perspective on different cultures, cuisines, and ways of life. These travels were not only exciting but also a great way to recharge and grow personally.
VISIOTT and New Milestones
Professionally, 2024 was a year of hard work at VISIOTT. One of our major undertakings was integrating the company into the Workcube ERP system. This was a challenging but rewarding process, and by year’s end, we successfully completed the transition. It was a collective effort by the entire team, and seeing it come to fruition was incredibly fulfilling. Additionally, I had the honor of being appointed as the General Manager of VISIOTT GMBH, our Germany-based subsidiary that was established five years ago. Managing global operations has been a thrilling and fulfilling new chapter in my career.
TİYSAT and Local Production Vision
Another major highlight of 2024 was my appointment as the Vice President of TİYSAT (Teknoloji. İlaç ve Yerli Sanayi Topluluğu) This organization, founded by passionate individuals and companies, aims to support local production in Turkey’s pharmaceutical industry—a mission that holds critical importance for our national security. This role took me frequently to Istanbul and also brought me to Gaziantep for a special meeting. Contributing to TİYSAT’s mission has been both an honor and a responsibility I deeply value.
LAPS Games and New Projects
LAPS Games also had a fantastic year. The success of our first game gave the team even greater confidence as they began working on our second game. While I can’t share too many details just yet, I promise it will be worth the wait. Stay tuned for the surprise! 😊
PROLL DEV Coloring Papers
My PROLL Dev Boyama Kağıdı project brought immense joy this year. Sold through boyamakagidi.com as well as platforms like Trendyol and Hepsiburada, the project reached an impressive 10,100 children in 2024. Knowing that this product sparks creativity and brings happiness to so many children is truly priceless.
Okul Tasarımcısı and New Partnerships
As always, Okul Tasarımcısı maintained its reputation for providing high-quality and innovative services. This year, we expanded our partnerships to include prestigious institutions like Darüşşafaka, TED, and Muradiye Schools. These collaborations highlight the value of our work and the trust we’ve earned in the education sector.
In summary, 2024 has been a year full of achievements, challenges, and opportunities for growth. Balancing the highs and lows has been a rewarding journey, and I’m grateful for everything this year has brought me. Here’s to an equally exciting and successful 2025!
Wishing you all success and happiness! 😊
