I am an international business leader having had the great fortune to have worked in multiple markets including the US, Turkey and the UK. My career started out in IT, leading into Supply Chain. In more recent years I have been country manager for a $250M packaging business, and now have corporate global responsibility for digital technology, analytics and generative AI for a Fortune 200 company. As a leader I am truly committed to fostering a culture of collaboration and sustainable growth, both for the business and for the people I work with. My family has been the inspiration in every professional decision I have ever made, and I am so grateful for all their support.
