I work as a freelance consultant specializing in project development, management, and coordination, particularly for business consultancy, ICT, and EU programs. I support SMEs in securing funding from national and international institutions, guiding them through project implementation and strategic growth. I am giving business management consultancy services to the corporations for empowering their businesses. I am proud to be one of the first computer engineers in Turkey, having graduated from Hacettepe University. Since 1981, I have built a diverse career as an IT expert, project manager, regional manager, and consultant in both the public and private sectors. Most of my experience has been with multinational companies and large-scale international projects, giving me a strong ability to navigate complex challenges and develop creative solutions in fast-paced environments. My extensive knowledge of both public and private sector dynamics allows me to bridge gaps, manage risks, and drive projects to success. In addition to my consultancy work, I lead an NGO - NORM Training&Consultancy Association - dedicated to empowering young people and women. I also run the Turkish Professional Project Managers’ Institution (TPPMI), a platform focused on advancing project management standards in Turkey. I played a key role in the ‘National Project Manager Occupation Standards’ project, contributing to the definition and publication of national occupational standards and assessment methodologies. With over 30 years of experience, I am passionate about fostering innovation, strategic thinking, and cross-sector collaboration to drive meaningful impact.
