Istanbul, Türkiye
As a motivated and passionate individual, I am committed to making a positive impact in the world of business and beyond. I have graduated with a degree in Management from Sabancı University, which is widely recognised as one of the top universities in Turkey. Additionally, I had the opportunity to participate in the Erasmus programme and study at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, which has further enriched my educational experience. Also, I have graduated with a Master's in International Business at Anglia Ruskin University, located in the United Kingdom, where I am gaining in-depth insights into global commerce and strategies. My professional background includes serving as a Global Business Development and Export Consultant at ODS Consulting Group, as well as a Business Development Intern at SkyIT Services in Canada. These roles have allowed me to gain practical knowledge and skills in the areas of international business and trade. Thriving in the heart of a dynamic startup, I've embraced a high-paced environment at Qrispy as a Business Development & Strategy Intern. I have also worked part-time as a Sales Development Representative at MWJ B2B Marketing Agency and as a Sales Intern at Venu AI, I wrote sales emails, booked calls, provided feedback, and enhanced the platform, all while collaborating with founders on strategic growth initiatives. Most recently, I’ve served as a Business Development and Investor Relations Associate at Wealt, a London-based multi-family office fintech, where I booked meetings and qualified investors for access to late-stage venture and private equity opportunities. I have also participated in several projects throughout my academic and professional career, which have allowed me to further develop my skills and knowledge. Through these experiences, I have gained valuable insights and practical experience in various areas. Furthermore, I have volunteered for various programmes created by the Turkish Red Crescent, UNICEF, and Civic Involvement Projects (CIP) at Sabancı University, which has instilled in me a strong sense of social responsibility. In addition, I was a co-founder of the Finance Society and served as the Head of Sponsorship for the Psychology Club at Sabancı University, where I had the opportunity to hone my organizational and teamwork skills. I am passionate about pursuing a career in consultancy, entrepreneurship, investment banking, international trade, and finance, and am dedicated to continuous learning and professional growth.
