Erol Bilecik

The Turkish Industry and Business Association (TUSIAD) re-elected Simone Kaslowski as its president on March 30. 

He has been heading TUSIAD since February 2020 after replacing Erol Bilecik.

Kaslowski is the CEO of Organik Kimya, a chemicals company.

Murat Özyeğin and Bahadir Balkır are the vice presidents of the association.

Updating the Customs Union agreement with the European Union is a vital point for Turkey, Turkish Industry and Business People's Association (TÜSİAD) chair Erol Bilecik has said.

The Turkish Central Bank's decision to increase the top interest rate 300 basis points to 16.5 percent has brought relief, Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD) chair Erol Bilecik has said, warning of a high inflation rate and burden of debt.

Turkey should leave the course of economic growth based on consumption and foreign loans, Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD) head Erol Bilecik has warned. 

It is the time for Turkey to recover its ties with the European Union, Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD) head Erol Bilecik has said.

Top bosses have called for the continuation of the negotiations for a Customs Union deal update with the European Union due to political tensions, as this deal has brought about many positive developments in many fields rather than only in the area of trade in the last two decades.

The executive board chairman of the Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD), Erol Bilecik, has drawn attention to slackness in Turkey's STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) system. "We expect that in 2013, employment will reach up to 34 million and 3.5 million of this will be STEM employments.

Turkey should stick to its European Union process in economic, security and democratization terms, the head of the country's top business organization has said, while also reiterating the organization's call for the launch of a comprehensive structural reform package. 

The state of emergency that was declared in Turkey in the aftermath of the failed July 2016 coup is no hurdle for business, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said May 18 amid concerns from top business figures.

Ever since Erol Bilecik became president of the Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD), the institution has concentrated more on women's issues and technology. Of course, this is the observation of an outsider, as I really would not like to do injustice to the previous presidents. TÜSİAD has always been the leading institution when it comes to empowering women in the workforce.
