I, Dale Micallef, am a data scientist working at Deloitte’s Market intelligence division. Mert was assigned to my team on a market intelligence project analysing the trends in the Maltese real estate market as it pertained to the Hotel industry. He was tasked with analyzing the data that we provided him, making reports and presentations on the insights pertaining to the Gozo island.
Throughout this engagement he was always very responsive, and respective of his deadlines. He was able to leverage his digital marketing knowledge to automate some parts of his market research tasks and was always coming up with creative solutions to overcome his presented challenges. Mert went above and beyond the call of duty to help to his teammates with their assignments and in his free time set up meetings with me and other managers to learn more about strategic data analysis. Mert is a trustworthy, reliable and good-humored team player who supports others in and out of the office. He was a pleasure to have in our team and his positive attitude and belief in himself, even in the face of difficulty, is an immensely admirable asset. For the impact Mert has been able to make as just an intern was significant and thus he has my highest recommendation for his future endeavors. For any future questions please don’t hesitate to contact me for any further information. Dale MicalledData Scientist
Deloitte Consulting "I, the undersigned, have known Mert Gulen for the past 3 years.
When I joined Carisma SPA & Wellness International, Mert, despite his young age was already successfully managing the multinational flagship of Carisma Spa’s, while being also completely responsible for all the Carisma SPAs Business Development. Mert is a hardworking and committed person who is always willing to learn new things and help out where needed. He is a professional who is always in control of any situation he finds himself in. I can truly say that Mert is a natural leader and a determined individual who will always see that the task at hand is carried out correctly, sticking to consistent high quality standards, and in a timely manner. During his time away from Malta, Mert still advised us on growth and operational management and joined us in our general board meetings. We rely on him for analyzing our business data and creating financial and strategical models to help guide our business decisions. Although I wish that Mert had more time to spend with us here in Malta, I understand that he needs new challenges and new experiences therefore I wish him all the best in his future and I do not hesitate to recommend him to any future employer." |

"Despite his young age, Mert's performance and vision in Marketing, Digital Media and Business Development are impressive and extraordinarily professional, spot-on and cost-efficient.
Working with him as a team was a relief as he is not one to just take instructions and implement them, but is very pro-active, coming up with very valid ideas and delivers beyond his brief, always remaining humble to ask when in doubt and receptive to other ideas. Not having him physically present at Carisma as he is now in the States to further his education leaves a big gap, but he still gives us his support from across the continent and will be a huge discovery and an asset to whoever will do business with him in the future. His mindset is geared to succeed and anyone in the industry will sense that within five 5 minutes of professional conversation. I hope to have him back on my team, wherever he decides to take roots in the world, as soon as he finishes his studies." |

"I worked with Mert past few months and it was a pleasurable time. He is an exceptional listener with a developed investor outlook and a profound business vision. During our marketing meetings he generates great ideas, filters their priorities and implements them effectively. He is very literate at utilising the fast developing technology and social media in the right way which has brought great successes to our company. He pushes himself to grow and is not afraid to take on new challenges. Carisma is a multicultural organization, Mert adapts to this environment smoothly due to his outgoing nature and good sense of humour. His leadership skills helps us to navigate our organization in right direction and can with no hesitation say that he will be a great asset to any organisation. Wish him best of luck for his future!" |
