Erdem Erdem

Career starting in 2010 at KPMG Türkiye, Erdem Erdem has focused his tax advisory experience primarily on Global Mobility and international assignment structures. During this period, he played an active role in cross-border projects and, in 2017, completed a short-term secondment at KPMG Italy – Turin, where he gained first-hand exposure to global mobility frameworks and international coordination models. This international experience further strengthened both his technical expertise and his ability to manage complex, multi-jurisdictional mobility programs.

Erdem has extensive hands-on experience in international assignments, including tax and social security compliance, shadow payroll processes, gross-to-net and net-to-gross remuneration modeling, tax equalization mechanisms, and the design of global mobility policies. Today, he manages end-to-end Global Mobility processes for more than 140 corporate clients, providing strategic advisory services to multinational companies across a wide range of industries.

In addition, Erdem advises High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) on multi-country income structures, residency and source-based tax analyses, tax treatment of equity- and incentive-based compensation plans, and personal tax planning. With his deep technical knowledge of Turkish income tax legislation, he supports not only expatriates but also Turkish resident individuals in addressing complex personal income tax matters.

Erdem became a Partner in 2023 and currently serves as Country Leader for Global Mobility Services at KPMG Türkiye. In this role, he develops holistic mobility strategies that help organizations optimize tax and legal obligations related to cross-border workforce mobility, reduce compliance costs, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
