A 31-Year Journey from Bank Leadership to Human Wholeness

Corporate Consciousness Architect / Organizational Culture Architect · Executive Coach · Team Coach

I bring the corporate experience I have gathered since 1995 to you under the structure of Organizational Culture Architecture.

Bank Leadership: From Inside the Corporate Field

My 31-year working life began as a Management Trainee (MT) in corporate banking; 19 of those years were spent under the roof of a bank, 18 of them in a leadership role, covering corporate sales, finance, budgeting, CRM, marketing, and the management of sales teams and operations. From portfolio management to Branch Director at Yapı ve Kredi Bankası (Plaza and Sultanhamam branches), and then Business Center Director at Burgan Bank Turkey from 2009 to 2014, this field experience lets me understand first-hand the commercial, managerial, and human challenges organizations face today.

Coaching, Training & Methodological Depth

For the last 16 years I have shared this experience through mentoring and coaching, and for the last 12 years as a trainer, mainly with corporate managers and employees. In leadership and management I focus on Emotionally Intelligent Leadership, Organizational and Sustainable Agility, Cross-Cultural Communication, and Coaching-Mentoring programs, and I deliver Team/Group Coaching and Systemic Coaching for Agile Organizational Culture. Adding the Laughter Yoga Leadership certificate I earned in 2014 and the Happiness Coach title I earned in India in 2021, I now serve as a Happiness at Workplace Specialist, supporting wellbeing and belonging in companies. Organizational Constellations, which I studied abroad in 2025, I use in shared-culture creation work and team coaching.

Community, Academy & Social Responsibility

Through my ICF Türkiye Board membership and other roles, I have volunteered as a coach and mentor for about 10 years with leading Turkish social-responsibility organizations such as TED, ÇYDD, GDN, Anadolu Güneşi, Soroptimist Association, Tomurcuk Foundation, TEGEV, TÜRGÖK, Hayat Sende, and Genç İnciler Association. From 2020 to 2025 I served as founding Faculty Leader of the Coaching and Mentoring Academy; contributing to the development of many professional coaches in line with ICF accreditation is one of my greatest privileges. To date I have reached 3,300+ hours of coaching, 13,000+ hours of training, and 19,000+ participants. While establishing in-company coaching and mentoring systems, I help safeguard their integrated structure within the framework of Organizational Culture Architecture.

Core Philosophy: 'Human Wholeness' and the 'WE' Consciousness

Supporting personal awareness and change, creating value and benefit, and serving the WE consciousness are my philosophy and guiding principle; the core values I take as my compass are sharing, continuous learning, and joy. In this period of my life I aim to work with pleasure and authenticity. Hoping to meet you and set out together when the time and place come, to be on the way together…
