CITIZEN of the WORLD

Cuneyt L. Oge begins his term as 2016 SAE International President with a vision about auto-mobility and aero-mobility 2050.

He was born in Turkey, spent time in the U.S. as a young adolescent, graduated high school in Europe, returned to the U.S. for college, learned to speak multiple languages, married a Greek, and traveled the world.

“As my name implies, I'm a bit of a curiosity,” allowed incoming SAE International President Cuneyt Oge (pronounced June-eight Oh-gay). The veteran management consultant, who officially took over as SAE President in January, puts no negative spin on that self-appraisal. Quite the contrary, as he goes on to say: “I think I qualify as a bona fide citizen of the world.”
