I work as a founder-led consultant and advisor to CEOs, founders, and senior leadership teams to translate strategy into measurable commercial and organizational outcomes across both B2B and B2C contexts.

I am a senior executive and advisor with more than twenty years of experience leading growth, transformation, and go-to-market execution across multinational corporations and technology-driven businesses.

My career spans global organizations such as Intel and NXP Semiconductors (founded by Philips), as well as SaaS, LegalTech, and startup ecosystems, where I have held General Manager and Regional Sales Director roles with full P&L responsibility. Across these roles, I have managed complex B2B and B2C technology businesses, leading large product development & sales/marketing teams, C level engagements at both public and private sectors. I have been accountable for project pipelines around $1 billion worth and direct revenue responsibilities exceeding $300 million across multiple regions.

Strategic Management, Revenue Leadership & Organizational Transformation.

I bring a combination of commercial leadership and operational depth. My experience covers product development, go-to-market strategy, enterprise and channel sales, and organizational scaling—often in environments characterized by regulatory complexity, multi-stakeholder decision-making, and rapid technological change. In recent years, this has included building and scaling SaaS businesses, integrating AI and data-driven capabilities into products, and translating advanced technologies into clear customer value propositions.

Alongside my career, I hold BcS in Electrical & Electronics Engineering (ODTÜ) and both an MBA and a PhD in Organizational Management. This academic foundation shapes my work with leadership teams, enabling me to connect strategy, structure, culture, and execution in a practical, disciplined, and human-centered way.
