Alican Arat

I’m a strategic leader with 20+ years scaling revenue and orchestrating high-stakes delivery programs across telecom and IT. Whether it’s hitting multimillion-euro sales targets or launching global software-architecture and 5G ecosystem rollouts, I combine commercial acumen, data-driven insights, and rigorous execution to drive lasting impact.

In my most recent role at Nokia Solutions & Networks, I:

• Oversaw a €2 billion market and €500 million in annual operations, building forecasting models and pipeline-optimization processes that lifted win rates by 18%

• Spearheaded end-to-end delivery of Nokia’s 5G ecosystem across Central Europe, Central Asia, and Türkiye—aligning cross-functional teams (Finance, HR, Legal, Procurement) to ensure on-time, on-budget launches

Earlier as Senior Program Manager and Account/Customer Manager, I:

• Managed global delivery teams for AT&T, Vodafone, Tele2, and Turk Telekom, embedding governance frameworks that reduced scope-creep risk by 25% and boosted client satisfaction scores

• Grew multi-million-euro portfolios in emerging markets by an average of 20% year over year through consultative selling, CRM optimization, and proof-of-concept excellence

I thrive at the intersection of sales, strategy, and delivery—mentoring high-performance teams, translating C-suite vision into executable roadmaps, and leveraging AI/analytics to unlock both top-line growth and operational efficiency. Bilingual in Turkish and English (working German/Russian),

I’m passionate about partnering with tech organizations to scale revenue, master complexity, and deliver customer-obsessed solutions.
