Hi, Okan! Introduce yourself.
Hi, my name is Okan Sultan. I am a 29-year-old from Ghent and recently became project manager at Paddle.be.
In my spare time, I like to play football. I love to chill with friends and enjoy walking by the sea. In addition, travelling is one of my favourite pastimes.
You like to travel. What is your favourite travel destination?
My favourite travel destination is Istanbul. My family is from Turkey, and the city feels like coming home. That's why I feel an instant connection when I walk around Istanbul. Everyone there is helpful and friendly.
We already talked about two of your passions, but video creation is also one of them. Why?
Besides football and travelling, I indeed love video creation. I love editing videos and storytelling.
Mainly because a video is a tangible product that you can look back on later.
How many languages do you speak?
Dutch and Turkish are both my mother tongues. I also speak English and French and can get by in German.
Have you ever had a nickname?
Friends often address me by my surname: Sultan.
Do you have pets, and what is your favourite animal?
I don't have any pets, but I have a favourite animal - a lion. There's something in between my favourite football team Galatasaray.
What is the ideal day for you?
I like to be productive, so I want to be creative on a perfect day. In addition, I want to go on a trip or enjoy myself with friends. After relaxation comes exertion, so sport is part of my ideal day.
What are the biggest challenges in your job soon?
I want to master the Paddle CMS further and learn all the ins and outs.
Furthermore, I want to know the internal processes better and deliver good work for the customer.
