Former CEO of Yemeksepeti

Nevzat Aydın resigned from his position as CEO after 21 years of Yemeksepeti transfer. He said that he had decided to leave his place to someone younger and with a different perspective. Emphasizing that Yemeksepeti, which has 9000 employees, is the leader in its sector despite all the slurs, Aydın said that from now on, he wants to devote his time to his family, himself, and philanthropy.

In his statement, the successful businessman, who stated that he strived for fair, innovative, and transparent management throughout his business life, added that he apologized if he had flaws. Stating that there are no advantages such as license, allocation, government support, incentives, acquaintances, and credits behind the success of Yemeksepeti, Aydın stated that "innovation" is their biggest trump card.

In his speech, Nevzat Aydın talked about the innovations of Yemepsepeti such as DVD project, gamification, restaurant reviews, wars for headman, giving “Speech” and other classics as gifts as well as Banabi and Mahalle, and then introduced the company's new CEO, Mert Baki.
