I’m interested in senior roles at the intersection of AI, digital transformation, presales and solution consulting, ideally at Director or Head level. I bring 15+ years of experience across enterprise technology, analytics, AI, credit risk and complex B2B sales, including roles at SAS, Experian and Garanti BBVA.
I’m primarily considering opportunities in Türkiye, Europe, the UK and the Gulf, with flexibility for the right international role.
My preferred compensation depends on location and scope, but I’m targeting senior leadership-level packages. I’m available with a relatively short notice period and open to discussing permanent, advisory or strategic roles.
