I am an experienced content partnerships and business development manager based in Istanbul, Turkey. Throughout my career, I have excelled in initiating and managing partnerships with major global brands and top publishers in the content ecosystem. I have a proven track record of improving existing portfolios and expanding the scope of activities to new genres and platforms.

At Kantar, a strategic planning, insight, and innovation consultancy, I provided valuable insight about the Turkish market as a cultural streetscaper and qualitative research services provider. As a board member and volunteer at DB Social Cooperation and Solidarity Association, I actively contributed to the organization's mission of social cooperation and solidarity.

In my previous role at Mobil8, I led content acquisition, strategy, business development, and relationship management. I successfully contracted over 75 new content producers and providers, strengthening relationships with key client accounts and creating new distribution channels in Turkey. I represented Mobil8 at international and local industry events and conferences, further establishing the company's presence in the market.
