What I'm looking for

I seek a senior insurance or risk leadership role where I can manage global programs, grow revenue, lead teams, and build strategic broker and carrier partnerships.

I am an insurance and risk management professional with 11 years of experience designing and directing global insurance programs across Europe, the US, and Turkey.

At GETIR I led local and global insurance programs, coordinated renewals, claims management and M&A activity, and supported a team of four executives while building strategic relationships with brokers, carriers and insurtechs.

Earlier roles at Sompo, Integra and Marsh strengthened my commercial capabilities — I led broker channels, grew broker-driven premiums by 62%, exceeded sales targets, and managed large multinational accounts with complex contract negotiations.

I combine technical underwriting and claims leadership (including leading major earthquake claims) with business development and stakeholder management to deliver tailored insurance solutions and measurable revenue and risk outcomes.
