What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated finance professional with over two decades of experience in the investment securities sector. Currently, I serve as an Assistant Manager at Is Investment Securities, where I monitor economic trends, ensure compliance with regulations, and support audit functions. My role involves training sales teams and managing financial risks for a region comprising 10 branches and 150 employees.

Previously, I held the position of Section Head, where I was responsible for internal controls and compliance services, ensuring that all financial transactions adhered to the regulations set by the Capital Markets Board of Turkey. My academic background includes two Master's degrees, one in International Security and Strategies and another in Global and Regional Studies, which have equipped me with a strong analytical framework to navigate complex financial landscapes.
