After many years of building, breaking, failing, learning, and rebuilding, I’m excited to share that I’ve stepped into the role of Global Creative Director for Insider One 🤍 Before fully stepping into this new chapter, I want to acknowledge the people who shaped this journey and made it possible. Riya Naskar you taught me so much, not only professionally but also in terms of character and leadership. I’m deeply grateful for the legacy and strong foundation you built. Without it, there would have been nothing to build on or improve. Thank you for being my director, my guide, and a constant support. I’ll continue to carry and evolve what you built with pride. Special thanks to my true partner in crime, Barış Bagatur Everything we delivered over the past eight months exists because of you. Thank you for filling the gaps I couldn’t, pushing both the team and me forward, and standing by me through sleepless nights, failures, and breakthroughs. I genuinely could not have done this without you. To my VP Christopher Baldwin and my dear CMO Merve Nazlioglu: thank you for believing in me, especially during moments when I struggled to believe in myself. You saw my potential early on, challenged me at the right times, and consistently pushed me to go further. I’m deeply grateful for your trust and support. Zeynep Demirci, my namesake and brilliant design mind, Amit Kumar, our video wizard, and Nikita Das, the queen of decks and social media, thank you for always being by my side. I’m grateful we’re building this together and pushing forward as a strong team. And to the entire marketing team: Nicolas Algoedt Gokhan N. Gul Kaan Bozak Oğuz M.

I learn from you every day. The second half of 2025 was one of the most defining periods of my career. Leading the brand end to end, owning the vision, and setting its direction required clarity, resilience, and commitment. I’m proud of what we built, how we built it, and excited for what comes next. Let’s keep building. 🚀✨🖤
