Data Governance Leader | AI Governance Advisor | Digital Transformation Strategist

I aim to lead AI and Data-driven Analytics initiatives to generate business value.

Since moving to Amsterdam in 2017, I provided IT Professional Services for the Bank of Tokyo (MUFG)  till 2021. Then, I continued with Goldman Sachs with their Data Governance journey for Responsible Investing ESG.

Meanwhile, I provided AI Governance Advisory for DeepZen.io in 2023 summer.

Recently, I supported Thyris.ai during its bootstrapping phase, enhancing my understanding of the AI deep tech landscape.

Nowadays, I collaborate with the Chief Data Officer at Credit Europe Bank in the Netherlands.

Between 2007 and 2017, I worked as a Co-Founder, responsible for IT Solution Delivery in philogica – a major data consultancy company covering the EMEA region by delivering leading-edge data engineering solutions.

I worked in the philogica London Office between 2009 and 2012 and was responsible for setting up and leading an operation in England within the Think London business incubation center.

I volunteered for the DAMA Turkey Chapter (Data Management International) as Founding Vice President to promote data literacy in the local industry. I was also a professional instructor at the Banks Association of Turkey between 2009 and 2018.

I began my career at MasterCard (Provus) in 1998 as a Data Engineer and worked in different roles, from Business Analysis to Project and Program Management in the Financial sector.

I joined Siemens Business Services in 2005 for IT Project Management of Data-related initiatives for Telecom companies in CIS countries.

For me, work-life balance is easy: I am 100% focused on the job when I am working. When I am not working, my priorities are family, healthy eating, and exercise.

I am fascinated with stock investment and human psychology. My expertise with data gives me a unique perspective. The stock market represents the psychology of the entire world at any given moment; data is a thumbprint of that moment. That helps me understand what the world is thinking and what it will do next.
