About

Leveraging a robust academic foundation in law where I graduated as the highest ranking women in my class with sustainable management studies in the UK, I am a dedicated Fintech enthusiast and compliance specialist. I have participated in a specialized Fintech Education Program organized by Marmara University and the Ministry of Treasury and Finance of Türkiye. This knowledge, combined with my commitment to sustainability, allows me to advocate for and implement eco-friendly, sustainability oriented practices and principles in the financial sector. My professional journey includes significant contributions as legal professional, I participated in managing AML compliance processes, providing legal guidance on financial technologies, and advising on crypto projects across various jurisdictions. I have worked in facilitating successful flip-up and ICO processes, as well as M&A projects, particularly focusing on establishing complex legal structures for holding companies in diverse locales such as Delaware and Wyoming. Passionate about the intersection of technology, finance, and law, I am dedicated to supporting startups and small businesses in navigating the complexities of international markets. My role as a Legal Compliance and Business Development Specialist at Clemta allows me to blend legal insights with strategic business development, driving growth and innovation for our path towards fintech venture empowering SMBs, providing integrated financial management and payment solutions. In my leisure time, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors; as a licensed boxer, I love martial arts and I fluently speak English and Turkish while keeping up with intermediate communication skills in Arabic and Spanish.
