Overview

After graduating from Marmara University, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, with a degree in Economics, I earned a Master’s degree in English-Taught Business Administration from Marmara University.

Following an internship at Brisa Bridgestone Tires, I began my professional career as the Head of Import at Exim A.Ş. I then entered the Tourism and Hospitality sector as a Sales Representative at Hilton Istanbul Hotel.

Between 1994 and 2005, I advanced through various roles within the Sales and Marketing Department at Hilton Istanbul Hotel. During this period, I also completed a Business English program at the London School International. After 11 years, I concluded my tenure at Hilton as the Assistant Sales and Marketing Director.

From 2005 to 2006, I served as Sales Director for Hotel Projects at Koleksiyon Mobilya Events and Cafe Koleksiyon, and as Membership Sales Director at Kemer Golf & Country Club. Between 2007 and 2009, I assumed the role of Sales and Marketing Director at Barcelo Eresin Topkapı Hotel. From 2009 to 2012, I continued my career as Sales Coordinator at The Marmara Hotel.

Between 2012 and 2015, I held a series of senior positions including Sales Director at Sheraton Çeşme Hotel, General Manager at Ottoman Palace, Regional Sales and Marketing Director in the opening team of Qatar-based Retaj Royal Istanbul Hotel, and Deputy General Manager/Acting General Manager at Ramada Plaza Tekstilkent.

In December 2016, I made a decisive career shift into the real estate sector. From 2017 to 2021, I worked as Partner Consultant at KW Platinum Regional Office.

In June 2021, I founded KW Star Regional Office as Founding and Managing Partner, continuing to operate in my area of expertise. As Managing Partner of KW Star, my vision is to become a regional leader, deliver high-quality services to local residents, grow alongside my partner consultants, and create a legacy worthy of passing on to my family.

My areas of specialization include residential real estate in Bakırköy, Ataköy, Yeşilyurt, Yeşilköy, and Florya—areas where I was born and raised, and where my family, friends, and social network reside, giving me intimate knowledge of every street. For commercial properties, I provide services across Istanbul.

Through the education I have received and my personal experience in the professional world, my goal is to offer accurate solutions, enabling the sale or lease of your property in the shortest possible time, and to present you with the most suitable home or workplace promptly.

If you believe I can assist you or your close network with any real estate matters, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I would be delighted to assist you.

With kind regards,
