Starting Corporate Public and Strategy Advisory Group in the year 2000 was a double challenge, occurring just after one of the early phases in Turkey-EU relations, at a time when it was unclear whether Turkey would become a full-fledged candidate for accession. It was then that I decided to take a leap of faith and establish a multinational consultancy company whose main office would be located in Brussels -- the heart of the EU -- with offices in Washington DC and Istanbul.

After these years of ever increasing enterprise, I am very glad to see that both challenges have been met beyond our initial expectations. I believe that CPS' continuously expanding client base and activities have ignited new expectations and new business niches in Turkey, where our experience still remains unique and our example is leading the way.

Our mission remains extremely rewarding, in that we not only focus on consultancy, as it pertains to Turkish harmonization with the EU, but our activities also act as catalysts in encouraging relations to develop harmoniously.

A simple perusal of our web site will show you our areas of expertise, our achievements and our goals. To help you get better acquainted with our activities and our team we have prepared a concise presentation of our business. Still, it's only meant to be an overview. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more detailed information.

Thank you for your interest in CPS.

Sincerely,


Tulu Gümüstekin

Chief Executive Officer
