I started MBA in the first year that Izmir University of Economics implemented distance education master's programs. Therefore, I am one of the first e-MBA students of our university to graduate. These investments made years ago in distance education give us a better understanding of its importance in the pandemic period we are in today. When I started my MBA, I was actively involved in business life and was living in Istanbul. After I graduated from university, I started my career in digital advertising agencies and then moved to finance. I was part of the team that launched Turkey's first digital bank “CEPTETEB” within BNP Paribas JV. After that, I took part in launching of Turkey's digital wallet BKM Express and Turkey’s payment method TROY at the Interbank Card Center of Turkey, I managed digital marketing and corporate communications activities. I am currently working as the manager responsible for fintech collaborations in the field of digital banking at the National Bank of Kuwait. I am also the founder of Challenger Insider. Through www.challengerinsider.com I share digital banking developments in the world with my followers, prepare a weekly newsletter in the field of digital banking and also provide consultancy services in this area.
