Dr Çitmaci succeeds Dominique Cardineau, who held the CEO role for eight years.

Dr Çitmaci started his career as a research specialist in the Fund Management of Bankers Trust/Deutsche Bank Turkey before moving to Dogus Group as senior executive with the responsibility of Treasury, Finance, Strategy and Business Development. He joined Fleetcorp in July 2012 as assistant general manager.

He also holds a Ph.D. degree from Marmara University Department of Banking.

Commenting on his new role, Dr Çitmaci said: “As the newly appointed CEO but the member of the team for the last three and a half years, our strategy is set to lead the market on the ‘added value’ basis so we would like to keep it moving. The biggest asset of Fleetcorp is its human capital with solid relationship set with the business partners including customers, third parties, banks and any other parties involved in the eco-system. My goal is to contribute to the coordination and consolidation of all the efforts, keeping it intact to raise the bar as being the member of Fleetcorp family.”
