Consistent focus
on the result
Born in 1971 in Duisburg, Sevgi Ates is a daughter of a Turkish immigrant worker. She initially studied law and from personal experience she acknowledges the struggle of achieving your own goals.
Later, Sevgi Ates did casual work as a telephone agent for the Gerling Group. During that time, she developed a virtually infallible sense for how people should behave to be successful professionally. She was also successful herself. Her sales figures were so good that she was inspired to set up her own company, ATES GmbH, and all of this while she was still studying. Her company’s core expertise was telephone sales training. At that point she was only 25 years old. For her, it soon became clear what consistent effort is able to achieve. Sevgi Ates acquired one of the first customers for ATES GmbH – her former employer, the Gerling Group.
She is one of the few paid advisors for the football industry. Further, it goes without saying that she is the only woman there! On top of it all, she manages to win over her biggest critics through her specialist expertise.
