Summary

This CV may not fully capture the breadth of my career achievements, which began with project management roles in NGOs during my high school years and have since evolved into a diverse and impactful professional journey. To briefly summarize, I have extensive experience across various domains—from leading multicultural teams with members from across Turkey and around the world (including Colombia, Morocco, Thailand, etc.) to managing international projects with global companies and overseeing customer relations tailored to diverse cultural contexts.


Over the past 12 years at NicEye Group, I have contributed significantly to our growth, joining when the team was just 10 people and helping it expand to over 150. Our business volume, particularly in the international sector, has increased 30-fold, and I have been actively involved in every strategic decision and operational step that made this possible. My contributions have spanned all levels of management, ensuring our success at every stage.


Given that my experiences extend well beyond what is captured in this CV, I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss my qualifications in greater detail. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
