About Bora Ozkan

In my 25-year career in finance management, I have designed and implemented the most appropriate financial strategies to establish/structure and improve the financial structure necessary to maximize the financial health, profitability, and commercial performance of the global companies I have worked for. By focusing on high-value-added areas such as budget management, cost analysis, corporate profitability, and efficiency optimization at international standards, I ensured that companies and their stakeholders achieve their financial goals; successfully determined road maps to overcome crises and challenging situations involving high risks (e.g. pandemic, high inflation...etc.); and completed numerous internal and external audit processes with "outstanding success". I led the management of all legal processes in the mergers of international companies in Türkiye. In 1997, I started my professional career as a "Senior Associate" at PWC, one of the world's largest independent audit firms, and continued as a "Financial Controller" at DOGAN YAYIN HOLDING in 2002. I took part as "SAP Key User" in the SAP implementation and user support projects of Doğan Gazetecilik, Milliyet, and Doğan Burda Rizolli. With my successful performance, I was transferred to DOGAN GAZATECILIK as "Financial Control Manager" upon the direct request of the CFO.Between 2005 and 2007, I played an important role in the establishment of an international corporate financial structure with the responsibility for all financial processes at Alpha IDF.Between 2007-2018, I worked as "Accounting Manager" and "Finance, Reporting & Internal Control Director" at Medina Turgul DDB. Responsible for the consolidation of the company subsidiaries, internal/external audit processes, budget management and reporting to abroad. During this period, I saved 50% of time and labor by digitizing the reporting process, which was carried out manually. I led the company's adaptation to "Sarbanes Oxley Laws (SOX)" by taking part in the creation of corporate procedures.Since 2018, I have been working as "Group CFO" at 4129Grey, a digital media agency affiliated with WPP's Grey Network, one of the world's leading marketing communications agencies, which merged with Ogilvy Türkiye in 2022, responsible for managing all financial processes of the company according to international standards. In the merger of Grey and Ogilvy in Türkiye, I ensured the smooth management of the process by following all legal processes and making company valuations.Thank u for visit my profile.For contact; boraozk@yahoo.com
