I'm 46 years old, turning 47 in Feb 2017, a former investment banker, a graduate of two different German universities and two different degrees, law and business. I've completed my corporate investment banking career in London and decided to move Istanbul, Turkey to be involved in entrepreneurial activities. Previously, I worked mainly for American companies, for example Morgan Stanley, one of the most prominent Wall Street banks, then GE Capital, one of the biggest leasing and finance companies in the world, then Lone Star / Hudson Advisors, one of the biggest distressed debt investors in the world - I'm a specialist in insolvency law. I quite like and prefer American companies over other nationalities. I've lived in the US before as a high school exchange student, back in 88/89, so I'm quite fond of America and their way of working and living. As you can see I had my share of life experience, I've made my money, I hold two European passports, British and German, so no need to chase a visa or money. I'm not looking for a job or for money, I'm doing this purely out of interest, just the excitement of this project and because I know and experienced things that could help others to do their job significantly better or even change entire things completely. I have extensive experience that I could share and it sounds just very amazing to me to possibly work with an institution like NASA and astronauts, the sheer thought of it makes me dream. I hope to get the opportunity to apply this program at NASA. Thank you.
