About Me

Internet, electronic devices, new technologies… I eat drink, breathe and live these. I was initially educated as an engineer, but I never practiced it professionally. I started working as a management trainee at Garanti Bank’s Alternative Delivery Channels Department where my technical background and analytical mindset has helped me a great deal in bridging the gap between the business and technology departments as business and marketing systems become more complex every day.

Thanks to my education I have a pretty international background. I studied in Mexico for one year at the age of 14 via the Rotary Youth Exchange Program, attended an international high school, finished university in Canada and topped it all up with an Executive MBA degree from Boğaziçi University in Istanbul. I am bilingual in English and Turkish and fluent in French and Spanish.

I am driven with the desire to learn about and implement new technologies. I also enjoy creating elegant solutions and systems.
