Business development & M&A origination professional blending deal-making expertise with AI/ML to accelerate growth.
TurkeyWhat I'm looking for
I’m a business development and partnership origination professional focused on creating high-value deal flow through structured outreach, strong relationships, and clear execution. I’ve built and redesigned origination systems to drive measurable increases in introductory meetings and inbound response rates.
At Dora Capital, I arranged 200+ intro meetings across the US, EU, and GCC and sourced proprietary opportunities valued at US$20M–$100M, supporting conversions into signed mandates and ongoing processes. I also applied product-centric diligence to uncover strategic synergies and built end-to-end business development and sourcing systems with Founding Partners.
I bring a technical edge to my partnerships work, using generative AI and agentic tooling to lift investor research output and support deal execution. Earlier, as an ML Researcher, I applied time-series forecasting and reinforcement learning to real-world energy and biomedical applications, including contributing to UI/UX for an AI-supported product.
