Hi! 👋 I'm a business development and marketing professional with over 20 years of experience running agencies and working with brands of all sizes.
I co-founded Thinkshot, an AI-native agency that helps ambitious brands grow faster and market smarter. Before that, I spent 10 years building iamyouth, a marketing agency focused on the university and youth space and co-founded Uniaktivite, one of Turkey's first digital youth platforms. That experience taught me a lot about building communities, growing brands from scratch, and making marketing actually work.
I play violin, listen to jazz and curate vintage items.
