Tolga Ismen has become the Chief Legal Counsel at Turkey's Sisecam Group, which is owned by investors and employees of IsBank.
According to Sisecam's LinkedIn page, the company was founded "81 years ago to meet Turkey’s need for basic glass products; today, besides being one of the most powerful industrial companies of the country, it is a truly global player with its exports to 150 countries and operations in 13." Among the countries the company operates in are Bulgaria, Romania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, and Austria. It operates in flat glass, glassware, glass packaging, and chemicals businesses at a total of 44 plants — 18 in Turkey and 26 abroad — with almost 22,000 employees.
Ismen reports that he manages 12 lawyers at Sisecam, which he describes as "a manufacturing company that manufactures an essential, green, sustainable product. As opposed to finance or services, you can always contact with your product. It feels more real."
