About me: During my undergraduate studies, I knew I wanted to work in consulting through various summer internships. I found that the learning curve and dynamism of the industry were truly unparalleled. To launch my career in such a growth-oriented environment, I joined BCG as an associate upon graduation. Based in the Istanbul office, I worked on a wide range of projects for clients across industries, from consumer products and retail to industrial goods.
After three fulfilling years, I decided to pursue the MBA programme at LBS to further my professional development and prepare for the next step in my career. Through consulting, I discovered a strong passion for driving innovation, shaping growth strategies and helping new ventures scale. At LBS, I am expanding this interest by exploring opportunities across entrepreneurship, investing and innovation-led roles, while engaging with the School’s vibrant community and London’s dynamic business ecosystem.
Three topics I can be approached about: Consulting; career pivot; moving to London.
