About Us
Ahmet Alpdemir
Shimdi is all about "now"...understanding the issues, drawing a
road map and taking action...now!

Ahmet is a problem solver, business developer, company builder,
strategic marketer and a technical sponge. He believes in building
repeatable processes in marketing and sales. He works with the
big picture, but we also loves details; because only with details one
can build a repeatable success.

Ahmet's technology experience spans from microprocessors to
hand held systems, from software to Internet.

His
creed talks for itself. It is borrowed from martial arts. It is
simple, clear and complete.

Adept at driving growth in both start-up and large established
companies, Ahmet has expertise in:

Executive business coaching
Business strategy development and implementation
Corporate investment and M&A strategy
Investment valuation, due diligence and negotiation
Startup acceleration
Business plan development and execution
Investor presentation and pitch development
Strategic partnerships
Sales process evaluation and improvement
Sales channel development
Product management and marketing
P&L management
Investor and customer relationship management
Market expansion on a global scale

Ahmet has started software/Internet businesses, grew a failing semiconductor startup from $0 to $25 million in less than 2 years,
and grew a public semiconductor company’s product line 300% to
$100 million in 3 years.

He has raised venture funding from private investors, handled
corporate investment rounds for a Fortune 500 company and
worked with numerous CEOs on their business plans. He holds 2
issued and 3 pending US patents.

Most recently he orchestrated the forming and presentation of the
technology road map working with a Fortune 500 CTO and his
distinguished engineers. He also coached the CEO of a VC funded
company to build a new vision and focus. He currently provides
executive coaching, strategic marketing, business planning and
development services to Silicon Valley clients.

Ahmet lives in San Jose, CA with his wife and two daughters. When
he is not making deals or plotting the future, he is found sparring
with his black belt daughters. He holds a BSEE and an MBA.
