Meet Steven Cheong
Meet Steven Cheong, Smart Security Product Management Director for Opening Solutions Greater China & Southeast Asia.
Mahmut Çodur’s career at ASSA ABLOY, which began purely by chance, has been a remarkable journey spanning 30 years. Starting in the hospitality industry, he now heads the operations in Opening Solutions Turkey, a success he attributes to great teamwork!
“Teamwork is very important to me. I have a good relationship with all my colleagues. I listen and try to understand their problems in detail so as to find the most effective solution. The most useful thing for me in my job is to be able to communicate well, to share my experiences with my teammates and contribute to their development," he says.
How do you develop yourself and grow?
“In addition to the educational opportunities ASSA ABLOY provides, I love to learn something new on my own. Sometimes it can be from reading a book, sometimes a YouTube video, especially when I am assigned to a new task or project. I also reached out to colleagues who have successfully done a similar task before and benefit from asking for advice. I find this speeds up the learning process and saves me time,” Mahmut says.
Mahmut lives in Istanbul, while his wife and youngest son live in Duzce, a city 200km away from Istanbul. So he often travels between the two cities. He also has two older sons who live in Istanbul. One of them, a professional singer and music producer, makes sure there is always music and fun in the household.
How would you describe a perfect day at work and outside of work?
“My perfect day at work is the last day of the financial year when all the set targets have been achieved! My perfect day outside of work is a breakfast in our garden in Duzce with all my family.”
