About

*I wrote two books on Exponential Growth. Not as a theory — as a system I built over 25 years in the field.**I started as an industrial engineer. Built Happy Center into one of Turkey's leading supermarket chains. Studied marketing at graduate level, then completed my Executive MBA at Harvard Business School. Along the way, I developed what I call Exponential Growth Strategy — a methodology that transforms traditional businesses into scalable, global operations.**Both books — "Exponential Growth Strategy" and "The Way to Exponential Growth" — are available on Amazon. The Turkish edition, Katlamalı Büyüme Stratejisi, is on all major platforms.**Today I apply this methodology across multiple dimensions:**As an angel investor in 10 startups — Saha Robotics, Restajet, Oniki, Pixselect, Okulyo, Qsoft, Cayra AI, Ultegra, Bosforas, — with combined tech exports to 20+ countries.**As President of the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce Retail Division, representing 41,,000 members.**As Board Member of the Economic Development Foundation, Turkey's Europe Expert institution.**As Board Member of the Knowledge Commercialization Center, connected to 1,500 startups.**As Board Member of TOBB Turkey-Cyprus Chamber of Commerce.**The question I keep returning to: how does Turkey become a global growth engine — not just a regional player?**I write about this on LinkedIn. Growth methodology, startup ecosystems, Turkey-Europe dynamics, and what 25 years of building actually teaches you.**If you're building something that needs to scale — let's talk.*
