About

Who I am

Based in Berlin, I’m a Design Thinker, Product Operations Leader and Career Mentor & Coach. Along the way, I’ve had the pleasure to work with companies of various industries and sizes both in Berlin and Istanbul such as Siemens Healthineers, Inveon, Garanti BBVA, idealo, Delivery Hero and commercetools.

With my background in Mathematics and Design Thinking (certified by Hasso Plattner Institute) I love bringing analytical thinking and human centricity together.

Having started my career in Sales, with the passion to solve customer problems and develop products that both create the best experience for the users and the best outcomes for business, I transitioned into Product Management over the years.

I have always been a natural collaborator, communicator and facilitator by heart who is passionate about enabling and empowering product teams to create the best possible experience for the users, operate effectively by improving the way the product is developed and communicated. So although it hasn’t always been called the way it is today, I’ve been informally doing Product Operations for the majority of my career and it only feels natural to be where I am right now.

Throughout my career I’ve been looking for opportunities where I get to give back to the community and individuals, which has until now found body as co-organising OpenIDEO’s Istanbul chapter, writing blog posts, providing mentoring and coaching. I find it very fulfilling and truly enjoyable to touch people’s lives and support them to find their calling.

On a more personal note; I am a tea person, love traveling and immersing myself in new cultures and cuisines, and find walking as a great way to free up my mind and body.

I’d love to get to know you more as well, so feel free to reach out to chat over a cup of tea (or coffee)!
