Investment professional at the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye Investment Office (Invest in Türkiye), working to bridge the gap between global capital and Türkiye’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. My current focus is on attracting Venture Capital, Private Equity, and Sovereign Wealth Funds. As the Project Coordinator of 'Start in Türkiye' platform, I facilitate connections between international investors and the Turkish startup landscape. I am currently enhancing my technical skills through the 'Applied Finance Program for Venture Capital' at Boğaziçi University. Additionally, I gained valuable regional experience in Kuwait, where I focused on MENA investors and advanced my Arabic language skills. My professional path is built on a strong academic foundation. I hold a Double Major from Sabancı University (Economics & International Studies) with exchange experience at Maastricht University. Later, I completed my Master’s degree in International Political Economy, writing my thesis on 'The Impact of International Venture Capital Funds on the Turkish Startup Ecosystem'. Currently, I am a Ph.D. Student in Islamic Economics & Finance, conducting research at the intersection of Islamic Venture Capital, Fintech, and Sustainable Finance. I explore how ethical financial instruments can drive Green Finance and technological innovation.
