    About
    Achievements

    I am an experienced salesperson and business professional since 2008 focused on B2B IT Solutions for the markets of Europe, Turkey, and the Middle East. Also, I am a financial investor since 2015, having strategic positions in several scale-up tech companies/startups and real-estate assets.

    Prior to the investment focus, I worked at Linkedin EMEA Headquarters where I hold the Director of Turkish Speaking Territory role in Dublin, Ireland. Before, I have been with SAP AG and IBM in Turkey.

    Grow in EMEA, the company I started in 2015, focuses on East Europe, Turkey, and the Middle East markets mostly for tech-related investments, real estate options, and portfolio management. My team provides market access services to Baltics, Turkey, and the U.A.E., and gives investment advisory services.

    I continue to invest in the tech domain with a focus on SaaS solutions for B2B and B2C markets, and real estate options in developing markets with ROI targets.
