Summary

Senior Program and Systems Leader | PMP | Climate & Innovation Strategist | Driving Excellence in Multinational Delivery and Transformation. I am an experienced senior leader with over 25 years across aerospace, humanitarian aid, energy, education, and consultancy sectors, delivering complex transformation programmes and building resilient, values-led organizations. My expertise spans project management, systems leadership, and sustainability, supported by a PMP certification (since 2011) and a Master’s in Leading Innovation and Change. At Turkish Aerospace (2003–2010), I managed high-profile helicopter programmes such as the T129 ATAK and Sikorsky Black Hawk modifications, working closely with international partners including AgustaWestland in the UK. Later, in the humanitarian sector with GOAL, I led large systems teams across Turkey, Syria, and Jordan, driving environmentally friendly operations, developing global environmental policy frameworks, and shaping climate priorities for 14 country programmes. This dual foundation—technical aerospace programme delivery and humanitarian systems leadership—gives me a unique ability to navigate both highly regulated industries and fast-moving international operations. Currently, I am strengthening my expertise in quality, sustainability, and compliance, pursuing ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 Chief Auditor certifications, with further training planned in ISO 27001, ISO 45001, and corporate carbon footprint management. This positions me to contribute at the intersection of innovation, compliance, and sustainability, whether in aerospace, humanitarian aid, or other international programmes.
