[3] Mustafa Cengiz was a prominent figure born into a distinguished family with deep ties to the olive oil industry in the region.

His father Mehmet Cengiz aka Pamuk Muhammed, was a renowned trader and one of the earliest factory owners in the olive oil sector.

This commitment to education reflected the family's progressive mindset and dedication to fostering intellectual growth alongside business success.

Known for his eloquence and sharp wit, Cengiz often turned to philosophy, literature, and cinema to articulate his vision and navigate the challenges of leading one of Turkey's most prestigious sports club.

He admired Spinoza's belief in the strength of the human mind to endure difficulties, a philosophy that resonated deeply during his tenure, particularly when Galatasaray faced financial and organizational crises.

In one of his speeches, he referenced the Japanese film Rashomon by Akira Kurosawa, a story that examines the subjective nature of truth through conflicting perspectives.

Mustafa Cengiz’s unique leadership style was not just about making decisions but about understanding the deeper currents of human nature, truth, and progress.
