What I Bring

Three Things I Do Exceptionally Well

Executives hire me when they need someone who can build revenue, lead transformation, and deliver commercial results without hand-holding.

01
Revenue Architecture & P&L Growth

I identify and monetise new business opportunities others miss. I have built product lines generating $1.5M+ incremental revenue within 12 months at 40% EBITDA, designed 5-year strategic growth roadmaps, and delivered 200% revenue growth through first-to-market CX and BPO solutions. I follow revenue from idea to P&L result.

02
Digital Transformation & CX Technology

I bridge the gap between technology and business outcomes. I have launched AI virtual agents, omnichannel platforms, CRM systems, and workforce management tools — not as IT projects, but as commercial products that generate EBITDA and improve NPS and SLA compliance. I have reduced operational expenses by 30% through data-informed process redesign.

03
B2B Strategy & Organisational Leadership

I have built and led multi-functional teams of 100+ across customer care, operations, and project delivery. I design and implement new KPI frameworks for UX/CX/B2B-CX, manage complex vendor ecosystems, and drive change management across large organisations — from Turk Telekom's 3,000-person customer care division to AssisTT's multi-unit business development function.

About

20 Years Building at the Frontier of CX & Technology

My career started on the front lines of customer care — as a customer representative at Avea in 2006 — and grew into executive leadership overseeing billions in revenue and thousands of employees. That progression from operational reality to strategic decision-making is what gives me an edge: I understand the mechanics, not just the strategy.

Today I lead Business Development at AssisTT, a Turk Telekom subsidiary — managing five business units across product development, customer experience, quality management systems, PMO, and international operations. My mandate is to grow revenue, build new businesses, and transform a traditional BPO into a technology-first CX partner.

I hold an Executive MBA (Sehir University / Sheffield University) and a Master's in Organisational Behaviour. I am fluent in English and Turkish, and I am actively exploring senior executive opportunities globally.

What I Offer a New Organisation
Proven P&L Ownership
I build the revenue model, own the EBITDA outcome, and make the hard decisions. Every venture I've led has delivered measurable financial results — from $500K product launches to $4M in revenue within 4 months.
First-to-Market Innovation
I have a track record of launching category-defining products — CCaaS, omnichannel platforms, AI quality tools, gig-model workforce solutions — ahead of competitors in my market.
Large-Scale Operations Leadership
I have managed teams of 3,000+ employees, overseen 16 million subscriber operations, and run cross-functional organisations spanning product, sales, CX, quality, and HR.
CX Technology Depth
20 years in customer experience gives me rare depth at executive level. I understand AI, omnichannel, CRM, WFM, and quality management both technically and commercially — which means I can lead product and sell it.
Strategic Growth Roadmapping
I have designed and executed 5-year strategic roadmaps integrating digital services, B2B partnerships, and new market entry — aligned to board-level objectives and ESG commitments.
Market Context

The CX Technology Wave

The customer experience technology market is undergoing its most significant structural shift in a generation. AI-powered automation, omnichannel orchestration, and self-service design are collapsing the distinction between BPO and technology provider — creating a $50 billion market by 2030.

Companies that operate at both layers — delivering BPO services while owning the technology stack — will capture disproportionate value. This is precisely the strategic position I have been building at AssisTT for the past five years.

For organisations looking to lead in this space — whether in North America, Europe, or the Gulf — my combination of technology product experience and commercial operations leadership is rare at the executive level.
