Istanbul, Turkey
Co-Founder & COO — Docyrus, Inc.
Serial entrepreneur building technology ventures across Istanbul, London & San Francisco.
My career began not in a boardroom, but at the whiteboard — studying mathematical engineering at Istanbul Technical University, where I learned to find elegant solutions to complex problems. That instinct for precision, combined with a parallel degree in Business Administration, shaped a professional path that has never separated "how it works" from "why it matters."
Over two decades, I've moved from corporate IT consulting and supply chain engineering at global companies like Huawei and Motorola Solutions, through senior commercial and product roles at Electro World / Dixons Retail and retail technology, to founding and scaling my own ventures. Each chapter added a new layer: operations, sales, marketing, product — and ultimately, company-building.
Today I focus on what I do best — building organizations that work. As Co-Founder & COO of Docyrus, Inc., I lead a globally distributed team from İstanbul, while holding founding and operating roles at three other technology ventures across Istanbul and London. My edge is the ability to move fluidly between strategy and execution — and never confuse the two.

Life beyond the desk
Home: İstanbul
I live in Istanbul — a city where two continents meet, and where every sunset over the Bosphorus reminds me why I stay rooted here while building global ventures.
World Traveller
Curiosity drives my business decisions — and it drives me to explore the world. 50+ cities across 4 continents, and I keep adding new pins to the map.
Sports & Athletics
I hold professional licences in both rowing and football. Sport has always been my school for discipline, teamwork, and performing under pressure.
Fishing is My Life
Fishing isn't a hobby — it's a meditation. Sitting by the water with a rod in hand, the world slows down, the mind clears, and everything falls into perspective.
