About

With more than 15 years of experience in the banking sector, I am a Project Finance Senior Manager at Bank of China Turkey, part of the world’s most international and diversified bank, ranking among the top four global banks by assets. With a unique combination of global financial expertise and deep local insight, we deliver tailored financial solutions to support strategic investments and complex projects. I manage a portfolio in project finance loans for various sectors, such as infrastructure (North Marmara Motorway, Antalya Fraport Tav Airport, Çanakkale Bridge&Motorway..), energy (HEPP, WPP, SPP..) and TWF in Türkiye. My core competencies include financial risk analysis, market risk analysis, management risk analysis, and credit risk mitigation, which I have acquired through my previous roles as a Project Finance and Credit Management Manager. I also have skills in financial statement analysis, consolidated financial statements, project finance, audit, and risk management, which I have demonstrated through multiple certifications from Moody's Analytics and PwC. I am trilingual in Turkish, English, and French, and I have an Executive MBA degree focused in finance from Istanbul Technical University. My mission is to contribute to the sustainable development and social impact of the project finance, while ensuring the financial viability and compliance of the loans. I am highly motivated to learn and develop, hardworking, proactive, self-driven, result-oriented, and a good team player and a leader as well.
