What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role that challenges me and allows for innovative project development.

I am an innovative executive with over 20 years of progressive sales leadership and business development experience. My strong strategic, business, and operational acumen has allowed me to drive robust growth and capitalize on new revenue potential across various complex, fast-paced environments. I have successfully led teams in multiple regions, including the Middle East and Africa, and have been recognized for my achievements, including developing the first commercial activated carbon from hazelnut shells globally.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a passion for continuous learning and out-of-the-box thinking. I have a proven track record of creating and leading processes with analytical and goal-oriented strategies. My experience spans various roles, including Head of Carbon at Balsu Gıda and Global Business Development Manager at Henkel, where I led significant innovation projects and achieved notable recognition, including Turkey President recognition with the HIT30 program.

I am now seeking a challenging leadership role where I can utilize my skills to create, develop, and implement innovative projects and strategies. I am eager to contribute to a forward-thinking organization that values creativity and growth, and I am ready to relocate back to Dubai to pursue new opportunities.
