My role at the Africa Pavilion

I’m the founder of AYA United Consultancy. At Europort Istanbul, I support Blue Ocean International with project coordination, delegation support and on-site operations for the Africa Pavilion.

If we meet at the pavilion, I can help you bring your question or opportunity to the right people in the Blue Ocean team.

Where pavilion conversations go next

Blue Ocean International leads the Africa Pavilion. For opportunities and partnerships that come through the pavilion, follow-up goes through the Blue Ocean team.

My role is to help the team organise the conversation and record the next step agreed with the people involved.

What I bring to the team

Through AYA, I work with business owners and teams on how they position their organisation, communicate what they do and turn priorities into practical plans.

At Europort, I bring that experience to my support role with Blue Ocean International.

04 / 05 · AYA & the Water Mission

A direction I want to explore

Through AYA, I want to learn from ports, cities and water-sector organisations about water priorities they define locally. I’m interested in what they are already working on and what support they say is needed.

The Water Mission is an AYA ambition at this stage. If a water opportunity comes up through the Africa Pavilion, I’ll bring it to the Blue Ocean team for follow-up.

05 / 05 · Business meeting

What should go on the agenda?

If a business meeting is planned for next week, share one concrete opportunity or question with the Blue Ocean team.

If my input would help, I’d be happy to join by invitation and support the discussion in coordination with the team.
