Istanbul, Türkiye
I am an impact-driven technology strategist and AI enthusiast passionate about transforming emerging technologies into meaningful business and societal outcomes. Previously, I worked as a Partner Technology Strategist at Microsoft, leading partner transformation across AI, cloud, security, and sustainability ecosystems. My role focused on crafting technical strategies, engaging with C-level leaders, and enabling partners to build scalable, data-driven solutions while supporting growth across complex technology ecosystems. Alongside this work, I contributed to diversity and inclusion initiatives through the Female Technical Talent Program and supported sustainability-focused innovation. Today, I am pursuing entrepreneurship and exploring how artificial intelligence can reshape industries, accelerate innovation, and enable new forms of value creation. My interests lie at the intersection of AI strategy, machine learning, cloud technologies, and product innovation. I hold a BSc in Electrical&Computer Engineering from Boston University and a MIT certification in Data Science and Machine Learning (2022). Earlier in my career, I served as a Teaching Assistant and mentor in Photonics, Electric Circuits, and AI, supporting students in developing strong technical and analytical foundations. Driven by curiosity and continuous learning, I am passionate about AI innovation, intelligent systems, and building technology that creates lasting impact.
