Aydin has a strong academic background in management, sustainability and architecture, holding Master's degrees in Management as well as in Energy Efficient and Sustainable Buildings from the Technical University of Munich. He also holds a Bachelor's degree in Architecture. As Managing Director Germany at Longevity Partners, Aydin will lead the Munich office in overseeing strategic initiatives, compliance management support and the provision of sustainable value-adding solutions tailored to the unique needs of the German infrastructure and real estate investment markets. He will also play a pivotal role in the development and automation of the German building certification sector, incorporating efficiencies such as AI into reporting and certification, further strengthening the company's product offering for sustainability solutions.
