Utku is based in central London, and is looking for a new role in the toy and licensing industry.

Uktu Tansel is looking for a new role after Euromonitor decided to close down its licensing division.

Utku joined Euromonitor International, a leading global business intelligence provider, in 2004 after completing his MBA (Master of Business Administration) in International Management at the University of East London and Law Degree in Marmara University, Istanbul. Starting as a research analyst initially, he was promoted to become a senior research analyst within two years. In 2008, he was further promoted to the position of global industry research manager covering six dynamic industries including toys & games, consumer electronics, apparel & footwear, home & garden, personal accessories and eyewear across 30 major markets worldwide.

In 2010, he became the global head of toys & games research creating the system to become a stand-alone key go-to source for strategic decision making for the industry covering 32 major markets globally. While developing specialist in-depth industry knowledge in the process, he increased the industry’s client base to its highest level which provides a sizeable revenue stream for Euromonitor.

Since July 2015, his primary focus centers on the licensing industry. He was also responsible for producing licensing focused global briefing reports across Euromonitor’s existing systems.

Considering his background, education and expertise, he is currently seeking further opportunities and challenges across insights, strategy, market research and business intelligence spaces ideally covering consumer products, hardlines/softlines licensing category management or retail.
