Straife, a US-based risk and compliance consultancy firm, announced the opening of its office in Istanbul, which is set to provide the U.S. and Türkiye new economic opportunities and drive the steady growth of bilateral trade relations. Straife’s Turkey office will serve as the firm’s regional headquarters and a gateway for aspiring Turkish companies wishing to expand their businesses in North America and vice-versa.
Straife Founder & Managing Director Joseph Fleming said establishing the Turkish headquarters was another milestone for Straife as it strategically expands operations into key markets.
“Expanding our global relations in Istanbul and throughout the region creates a dedicated base for deepening cooperation with partner countries and helping them with policy guidance and technical support to build upon existing initiatives,” Fleming explained. “Turkey's position at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East makes it a vital commercial hub that American companies are eager to engage with.”
Yadel Oskan, Managing Director at Straife, underlined the importance of the regional partnership established by the opening of this office, stating, "We want to extend the scope of bilateral relations and investments and increase business volume. This regional headquarters will be instrumental in helping businesses tap into the region's tremendous potential.”
Straife already has offices in Houston and Washington D.C., which serve the consultancy’s core activities. The opening of this Istanbul office further recognizes the regional and global significance of strengthening the U.S.-Turkey economic relationship.
