The Coca-Cola Company has appointed Volkan Öngüç as the new Vice President for the Pakistan and Afghanistan Region within its Eurasia & Middle East Operation Unit.
Volkan Öngüç brings over two decades of professional experience in commercial management, business development, and sales to this role. Since joining The Coca-Cola Company in April 2021, his expertise in revenue growth management, both in Turkey and on the international stage, has been a significant asset.
Expressing his vision for Coca-Cola Pakistan, Volkan Öngüç stated, “I believe Pakistan is a country of immense potential, with over $1 billion invested in the country by the Coca-Cola System. This is truly a second home and has many similarities with my home country, Türkiye, such as our love for music. I witnessed it with the launch of Coke Studio Season 15, the iconic musical platform showcasing the incredible talent and diversity of Pakistani music and culture. Coca-Cola Pakistan is as local as it gets; from Turkey-owned Coca-Cola Içecek’s operations, to hiring locally, to sourcing local raw materials and working with sugarcane farmers. Our community investments this year will focus on water – both replenishment and clean drinking water for the millions we serve across the country. I want to thank the people here for warmly welcoming me. I now consider myself an honorary Pakistani.”
In addition to his corporate achievements, Volkan Öngüç is also an angel investor and mentor, actively engaged in exploring new business models and entrepreneurship. His passion for technological advancement, coupled with a commitment to personal growth and leadership development, distinguishes him as a well-rounded professional.
