What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role in private banking or investment management where I can design derivative solutions, grow AUM, and drive client-focused revenue growth.

I am a finance professional with 20 years of experience at blue-chip multinational and national firms, focused on derivatives trading, portfolio management, and financial sales. I combine commercial focus with strategic thinking to deliver client-centered investment solutions.

In senior roles I designed customized derivative products, created option strategies on indices, equities and futures, and drove AUM growth and client acquisition across private banking and advisory desks. I consistently exceeded revenue and acquisition targets, including demonstrated achievements such as 117% average yearly revenue target achievement and 400% growth in new investment clients.

I hold Turkish Capital Market Board licenses (Basic, Derivatives, Level 3) and BES license, and I am fluent in English with intermediate Spanish. I seek roles where I can apply my derivatives expertise and client relationship skills to grow portfolios and deliver measurable business results.
