Levend Beriker is founder and managing partner of LBA in Istanbul. LBA's practice is built upon many years of hands-on business experience and cooperation with the best international practitioners of value management and corporate strategy. He currently works with clients in Turkey, Greece, and Eastern Europe.
Mr. Beriker's introduction, in 1994, of the concept of “management for value” coincided with the emergence of a semi-efficient equity market in Turkey and the monetary crisis of 1994. At that time consulting firms, local and international, aimed to deliver incremental improvements in efficiency to their clients' operations and organizations. He challenged companies to look beyond the immediate horizon and face the challenges and opportunities of growing in an emerging capital market. In short, he got them to think about shareholder value and better alignment of interest between management and shareholders.
From 1980 to 1990 Mr. Beriker was part of an entrepreneurial partnership that delivered the product and service organization best identified with the brand Dusakabin. He was managing director of a LSE listed UK company prior to founding LBA.
Mr. Beriker is a graduate of Cornell University School of Engineering and Indiana University Business School.
