Cybersecurity Leadership with a Global Perspective
With over 15 years of experience in Information Security, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), I help organizations build secure, resilient, and business-aligned digital ecosystems.
My career spans financial services, fintech, and enterprise IT environments — leading cybersecurity strategy, regulatory compliance, and risk management programs at Intertech, Anadolubank, and NN Group.
Trusted Partner in Security Transformation
I’ve served in CISO-level roles, led the design and implementation of ISO 27001-compliant ISMS frameworks, and managed high-stakes audit and regulatory engagements (BRSA, KVKK, PCI-DSS, GDPR).
At NN Group, I was recognized globally for achieving one of the highest security compliance scores among 16 countries.
From internal governance to executive-level risk reporting, I bridge technical depth with strategic clarity.
With a strong background in cybersecurity operations, IT audit, GRC, and data privacy, I specialize in:
✔️ vCISO Services & Security Leadership
✔️ Information Security Governance & Strategy
✔️ IT Risk, Audit & Compliance Management
✔️ Data Protection (GDPR/KVKK) & Privacy Programs
✔️ Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Planning
✔️ Cybersecurity Awareness & Cultural Transformation
✔️ Team Development & Vendor Management
I’m passionate about aligning security with business goals and enabling secure digital transformation. I’m currently serving as Information Security and IT Risk Manager at Intertech.
