About

Experienced in end-to-end delivery, planning, and contract management within complex, high-stakes operations. I have a proven track record in managing large-scale, multi-stakeholder programs across international projects, coordinating production, delivery, and acceptance processes while ensuring full alignment with contractual and operational requirements. Most recently, I led delivery and operations management across multiple UAV platforms, including Bayraktar TB2, TB3, AKINCI, and KIZILELMA, working with cross-functional teams and international customers. I am particularly interested in roles that combine planning, operations, and contract management, where I can contribute to efficient execution, operational excellence, and structured decision-making. Areas of Expertise: Production Planning, Delivery Management, Supply Chain Management, Contract Management, Project Management, Demand Planning, Stakeholder Management, Cross-functional Coordination
