Ekmen was vetted and selected by a review committee based on the depth and diversity of his experience. Criteria for acceptance include a track record of successfully impacting business growth metrics, as well as personal and professional achievements and honors.
“We are honored to welcome Hakan into the community,” said Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes Councils, the collective that includes Forbes Technology Council. “Our mission with Forbes Councils is to bring together proven leaders from every industry, creating a curated, social capital-driven network that helps every member grow professionally and make an even greater impact on the business world.”
As a new member of the Council, Hakan has access to a variety of exclusive opportunities designed to help reach peak professional influence. He will connect and collaborate with other respected local leaders in a private forum. Hakan will also be invited to work with a professional editorial team to share expert insights in original business articles on Forbes.com, and to contribute to published Q&A panels alongside other experts.
Finally, Ekmen and umlaut will benefit from exclusive access to vetted business service partners, membership-branded marketing collateral, and the high-touch support of the Forbes Councils member concierge team.
“I am very excited to become a member of this tech leadership community,” said Ekmen. “I am most looking forward to learning from fellow leaders, collaborating with them, and to share our expertise from working with leading companies in the automotive, aerospace, energy and telecom industries, to help drive innovation and improve the greater good.”
