Summary
Asim Erturk is a founder and managing director with 7+ years scaling student accommodation and hospitality businesses across the UK, Türkiye and China, now overseeing more than 2,000 rooms in 50 prime locations. He built Londonist from scratch after relocating to London, combining hands-on project management with sales, marketing and franchise leadership to create all-inclusive, safety-first living experiences for students. His ventures—Londonist DMC, Londonist Hospitality and Uninist—blend property management, flexible tenancy innovation and real estate investment across multiple markets. Recognized with The King's Award for Enterprise (International Trade) and multiple industry accolades, he emphasizes excellence as a daily standard rather than a goal. Asim’s background in management science and public administration underpins a data-driven, people-focused approach to growth and operations. Less obvious: he pairs high-volume operational scaling with bespoke guest services (airport transfers, discounted flights) to drive retention and international expansion.
