Having spent a decade as an investment banker in banks such as Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs in London and Switzerland, I switched to tech five years ago, initially as the Turkey country leader of Afiniti, one of the largest artificial intelligence companies in the world. I am currently a Regional Director at Plug and Play Tech Center, heading Turkey and Kazakhstan. I also have an independent board member seat at the oldest and largest publicly listed software company in Turkey, Logo Software. I hold a BA in Economics and Management from the University of Oxford, UK and an MBA from INSEAD, France & Singapore.
