This is a YouTube video titled "Sharing Knowledge and Networking with Baris Gokalp" containing a monologue or talk by Baris Gokalp recorded in May 2023. The content focuses on the importance of knowledge sharing, certification, and networking in corporate treasury, particularly in Turkey's economic context and international business expansion in the glass manufacturing industry.
Foreign aim is being a platform with knowledge and best experience sharing. It's first. But second is solving that knowledge issue. Because if we can give our knowledge to them, they will understand that corporate treasury is a separate way, is a. Is a separate job. And in third, if they can achieve a certification program, because in Turkey you don't need any certifications for being a corporate treasurer. Then if you have the certificates like the ACT and FEPS and the others, I guess you prove that you know something about the corporate treasury and you are different from an accountant. By having such kind of people in the company, the boss, the company owner will get the benefit of such kind of knowledge. As a summary, we are trying to establish an ecosystem and we have just made our first event on the November this year which was a big attendee portfolio with 700 people and 500 was manager and above. Now we are planning the next year's event and we are planning the educations and the webinars. If you are working in Turkey, Istanbul is the economic capital of the country. So especially in a treasury guy, somehow your carrier goes to the Istanbul. And luckily I have an offer from Shisem which is as you said, the biggest one of the biggest glass manufacturing companies in the world. And it was also a change management because company was becoming more and more International. My first day in Shichejiang Xiajiang was performing in seven countries. And now more than seven years I spent it comes to the 14 countries. It is getting bigger and bigger each year. One country we are in which many companies is being such kind of international business. Because in glass industries it's very different from the others. Because if you are in a market, you should produce there. Because as you know, the glass is very heavy. Building glass and automatic glass. That's why as b. As I'm saying 14 countries these are not sales office or rep office. They are mainly factories. So this gives us a big opportunity in order to do what we have learned other multinationals experiences. They should look outside of the country. They are living how they do business and how he can be prepared for such kind of career movement. And besides that, not only the payments cash managements or corporates treasury issues. They should learn about the company's business model, where they are performing. That will help them a lot in order to establish their career for sure. But in order to make their operations treasury operations easier. And as you said, instead of sitting there at the desk at the company at home. My second suggestion is go and talk as much as people on the environment or business environments in order to have new ideas because each ones are story are different and each company is different and each a person with an idea can give you a light in order to do your business more properly for sure, but in order to make their operations treasury operations easier. And as you said, instead of sitting there at the desk at the company at home, my second suggestion is go and talk as much as people on the environment or business environments in order to have new ideas.
