Turkcell is now in the process of naming a new CEO.
The company is undergoing a management shakeup, and recently named Kamil Kalyon as its financial EVP, while Huseyin Cakmak was made Chief Human Resources Officer.
Turkcell is directly and indrectly owned by TWF, the wealth fund of the Republic of Turkey (26.2% of shares) and LetterOne Holdings (19,8% of shares), the investment firm co-founded by Russians investors led by Mikhail Fridman.
