Aydin Senkut on Wharton

5/14/2008

"The whole Wharton educational background, it's like special forces, being able to have something thrown at you and immediately reacting to the opportunity. But I generally cared about the people [involved in the international deals]. We are all human beings and that plays a role in our business decisions too." Aydin Senkut, WG'96, was responsible for extending Google's reach internationally and he credits Wharton for helping him close every deal he pursued. But, using Jon M. Huntsman, W'59, H'96, as a reference, Senkut stresses that treating people of all cultures with respect and decency is an essential ingredient to success.
