The success story of Garanti Bank is truly unique. Appointed as its president, Akin Ongor, a truly legendary personality, transformed an ordinary Turkish bank into a world-class financial institution in just nine years. Together with the management team he created, Ongor implemented a program of changes that affected literally every aspect of the bank’s work, whose market value over the years increased from $150 million to $5 billion, and annual profit from $85 million to $500 million. The bank turned into a powerful holding company with branches in Holland and Russia, and in Turkey - successful insurance and leasing companies. In contrast to the widespread phrase “After us, even a flood,” Ongor managed, within the framework of the Garanti culture he created, to introduce a new principle, “After me, there is a continuation...”, which largely determined the fantastic success of the bank and the working style of its leaders.
