Serkan will oversee the strategy and operations of DTZ's three regional capital markets business in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA); Asia-Pacific and the Americas. He will report into Paul Idzik, DTZ Group CEO.
Serkan was educated at Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey and Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth in Hanover, New Hampshire in the US.
