About
As the Chief Product Officer at Getir, I lead a dynamic, multinational product organization responsible for the management of a vast portfolio of products, ranging from various consumer apps to our internal warehouse and supply chain products, delivery and growth campaign algorithms etc.
My journey in the digital landscape spans over 18 years, with an unwavering passion for smart, well-crafted digital products and services fueling my career progression in the e-commerce industry. I have worn many hats in my career—developer, product manager, strategist, each of which has infused me with diverse perspectives and a robust problem-solving ability.
During my tenure at eBay, I led the 'Strategy & Operations' team for the Turkey & MENA region, where we planned, executed, and evaluated strategic business initiatives and operations. Additionally, at Getir, I seized the opportunity to build a new q-com marketplace business from the ground up. As the fastest-growing vertical in the company, it required the creation of a dedicated, standalone team to manage the business end-to-end - a challenge I relished and a testament to my abilities in strategic development and leadership.
Since 2017, I have embraced general management and leadership roles, spearheading business operations with a commitment to operational efficiency and continuous innovation. This has not only enriched my leadership abilities but also provided a comprehensive understanding of managing diverse business functions.
While I have stepped away from the coding keyboard professionally, I still take immense pleasure in experimenting with emerging development technologies and platforms through personal projects.
A lesser-known fact about me is my past role as the lead singer of the pop-rock performance band "Pijama". With two studio albums, several music videos, and countless live gigs to our credit, this experience has nurtured my creative instincts and honed my skills in team collaboration and public engagement.
