Cybersecurity Sales Leader | Enterprise Exposure Management & Risk Reduction | Tenable

Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye

About

I've spent over 20 years selling cybersecurity — not products, but outcomes. In that time, I've learned that the hardest part of enterprise security sales isn't closing deals. It's helping organizations truly understand their risk exposure before something forces them to. That's what drew me to Exposure Management. At Tenable, I lead the Turkey territory, working directly with CISOs and senior security leaders on complex, multi-stakeholder decisions that span enterprise, hybrid, and cloud environments. My focus is on helping organizations move from fragmented point solutions to a unified, measurable approach to cyber risk reduction. Over the years — at Tenable, Fortinet, Forcepoint, and earlier — I've built and scaled channel ecosystems, opened new logos in highly competitive markets, and consistently grown revenue in territories where relationships and credibility matter as much as the product itself. If you're working on Exposure Management strategy, evaluating platforms, or just want to talk cybersecurity — I'm always open to a conversation.
