Aside from building Anatolia, Mr. Davidson helped found and developed other successful companies.

"I am excited to join TurkPower's team and help grow the Company's mining and energy business," Mr. Davidson said. "Turkey is not only the world's second-fastest growing economy but also the second-fastest growing energy market in the world.
