About

With 15+ years of expertise in information & cyber security, business continuity, and privacy information management, I specialize in Cyber GRC—bridging deep technical knowledge with regulatory compliance to help organizations thrive in a rapidly evolving threat landscape. I have led security initiatives for large-scale enterprises, financial institutions, and critical infrastructure providers across Europe and Turkey, supporting workforces of 10,000+ employees. My passion lies in delivering strategic, actionable solutions that reduce risk, ensure compliance, and strengthen overall security posture. Driven by the belief that security is not just a shield but a business enabler, I help organizations turn complex security challenges into opportunities for growth and resilience.
