With his profound leadership abilities and his unrivaled work ethic, he was able to save the company, positioning it as a leader in the natural stones industry. Today, Icon Stone is listed as one of the 500 fastest-growing companies in the United States, helped along by a recovering economy and a recent boom in real estate development projects.  The company, located in the LA-area community of Santa Fe Springs, California, has several quarry and production facilities around the globe and employs hundreds of workers both in Europe and in the U.S.

 

He is also active with international trade organizations.  He is the current Vice President on the board of directors for WATCH-US, the Western American & Turkish Chamber of Commerce. The organization supports trade missions and delegations between the United States and Turkey as well as helping provide mentorship to young business professionals in both countries. By working closely with regulatory agencies, governments, and business operations in both the U.S. and abroad, Ahmet and WATCH-US have a goal of increasing trade volume between countries to $60 billion over the next decade.  For more information on Ahmet and his extensive history as a business visionary, visit https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP2_ap2GaCxhH9E-zsVsxNw.
