Selim Tezman did not stumble into entrepreneurship by chance. Born into Tezman Holding, a diversified group founded by his grandfather in 1948 and still chaired by his father, Erol Tezman, he grew up surrounded by industries that shaped the backbone of modern commerce. Manufacturing, marine trade, insurance, and construction all fell under the group’s banner.
Yet Tezman’s career began far from the safety of his family’s boardrooms. After earning his place in New York’s financial sector, working in banking, he cultivated a sharp instinct for global markets, capital flows, and strategic growth. The experience abroad proved foundational: finance gave him a lens for risk management, but also the hunger to build businesses that could compete at an international level.
