What I'm looking for

I'm seeking consulting, advisory, or senior management work in manufacturing, R&D, quality, sustainability, or operational excellence. I prefer remote, part-time, fractional, and project-based assignments, and I'm also open to hybrid, on-site, full-time, and international opportunities.

At Ecoviora, I support manufacturing companies with focused transformation projects, starting by making operational and economic losses visible and helping teams set priorities. My work connects sustainability, quality, R&D, and digital initiatives with day-to-day manufacturing performance.

At Zorluteks Tekstil A.Ş., I held responsibility across R&D, quality, process improvement, sustainability, and related activities. I managed R&D/Design Center strategy and project portfolios, and worked on product and process development, resource efficiency, automation, and sustainable manufacturing.

Earlier at Yünsa A.Ş., I managed R&D and process-improvement projects and, before that, QA/QC teams and laboratory activities. Across my work, I have managed or contributed to TÜBİTAK-supported projects, participated in Horizon 2020 projects, and contributed to national patent applications.
