JAIMS Remembers Alumnus Nuri Sozkesen
26 May 2010
JAIMS Distinguished Alumnus Nuri Sozkesen (JMP-11 and AMP-23) passed away in October 2009 at the age of 53.
“We are deeply saddened by the passing of our outstanding alumnus and good friend, Nuri,” said Blair M.T. Odo, JAIMS Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
JAIMS honored Sozkesen with a JAIMS Distinguished Alumni Award in 2002 in recognition of his accomplishments as an entrepreneur, industrialist, and philanthropist. Sozkesen was chairman of FUNIKA Holdings in Denizli, Turkey, a company he established after attending JAIMS. Having been positively impacted by his intercultural education and internships arranged by JAIMS, Sozkesen created the name FUNIKA by blending Fujitsu/Nihon Kokan/Kanematsu, the latter two being his internship companies.
He later established the FUNIKA Foundation, which supported young, qualified entrepreneurs from his hometown. In addition, Sozkesen and his wife, Ilknur, awarded scholarships to 36 JAIMS students from developing countries for academic merit.
Sozkesen is survived by his wife, Ilknur, and three children, Kemal, Civan, and Yurdanur.
With gratitude, JAIMS salutes Sozkesen for the difference he made in the world.
