I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Economics in 2009. After graduation, I had four-year experience and expertise at different departments, like Logistics and Sales at Arkas Holding where I performed my internship before. In 2014, I began working as a logistics specialist in Petkim Petrochemical Holding, Turkey's only petrochemical plant. As of 2019, I continue to work as Logistics manager at SOCAR Turkey after a large integration process. I had projects and studies on the use of different transportation models and cost optimization in many areas of logistics, and we continue to develop new ones together with our teammates. I share my experience by mentoring students from IUE. I am proud to be from IUE.
Alper Özer
2019 - Software Engineering Graduate
I graduated from Department of Software Engineering at Izmir University of Economics in 2019. Throughout my journey, the education I received was as impactful as the projects I took part in within the Coding Club and the teamwork experiences on campus.
Kayahan Dede
2010 - Industrial Design Graduate
I graduated from Design Management Option, Department of Industrial Design, Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, Izmir University of Economics in 2010. Thanks to the design management option available only at my university in our country, learning not only the creativity side of the design but also the business world side of it made me very competitive in the labor market. So much so that I can think as a business administrator, a marketer and a public relations specialist and communicate with them in a technical sense, thanks to the interdisciplinary lessons we have studied and friends from different departments I met in these courses.

Murat Can Karagöz
2017 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
I spent 4 months in Florida, USA with the WAT program, after completing the foreign language courses I had to complete for the Department of International Trade and Finance, which I attended very fondly and willingly in 2012. When I started my education in the department, I pursued the opportunities to study abroad and in the 3rd grade I studied at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (SWPS University) in Warsaw, Poland for a semester.
Fulden Karameşe
2012 - Computer Engineering Graduate
Izmir University of Economics became the place I missed a lot in a short period of time, the place that I wanted to come back again and again. Without a doubt I missed my University, in which I grew up with the academicians who are experts in their fields, a lot. Think about a place there is no hierarchy, what can I tell, instructors that want to support you all the time, Spanish instructor whose concert we attended to, or head of our department with whom we had tea in the cafeteria together?
