About

After graduating from University of Istanbul I have started my professional career as a long term-intern at Garanti Securities. Through the end of my first year I have received acceptance from Yapi ve Kredi Bankasi as an assistant internal auditor. Having worked for 3 years as an assistant auditor and 2 years as auditor I have audited several branches around Turkey and HQ departments and also led a couple of investigations during my senior year. I was transferred to IBM Global Business Services in May 2008 as a senior consultant working in Strategy and Transformation line. In my last assignment I worked as a teamleader in a project with a scope of “Deployment of Operational Processes” at one of the leading banks in Turkey. As of April 1, 2013 I have taken a step forward and started working as a "Client Executive" in banking sector responsible from key accounts.
