Drawing on leadership experience at Delivery Hero / Yemeksepeti, Alibaba / Trendyol, and strategy engagements within The Boston Consulting Group ecosystem, I bridge strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
I partner directly with C-level teams to pinpoint growth levers, redesign operating models, and deliver measurable impact. My recent work spans last-mile delivery optimization, international expansion, go-to-market design, and digital transformation initiatives across retail and consumer goods sectors.
