ABOUT ME
My journey is defined by resilience, transformation, and a deep commitment to empowering families, businesses, and individuals to thrive. I focus on three key areas: strengthening family businesses, fostering workplace wellness, and guiding personal growth.
Born into a family business, I grew up witnessing firsthand the delicate balance between personal relationships and professional ambitions. My father, a visionary entrepreneur, taught me the art of leadership as he built one of Turkey’s largest wholesale pharmaceutical enterprises, employing over 300 people.
But my story didn’t end there. Fuelled by an entrepreneurial spirit, I ventured into new opportunities, built and scaled multiple businesses, and dedicated my life to understanding the unique dynamics of family enterprises and the role workplace wellness plays in achieving lasting success.
A Deep Connection to Family Businesses
Family businesses aren’t just my area of expertise—they’re my passion.
Growing up in a family business and dedicating over 15 years to consulting and coaching family enterprises, I understand the joys, challenges, and opportunities that come with blending family and business. Whether navigating intergenerational transitions, resolving conflicts, or aligning visions, I’ve helped family businesses build trust, find balance, and achieve sustainable growth.
I’ve been privileged to guide businesses toward peace at the table and profits on the balance sheet. These transformative experiences inspired my upcoming book, where I’ll share practical strategies for family business leaders striving for connection and success.
Creating Wellness in the Workplace
I firmly believe that a thriving business starts with the well-being of its people. Stress, burnout, and disengagement can hinder even the most successful organizations. That’s why I’ve made workplace wellness a cornerstone of my work.
Drawing on my expertise in stress management, effective communication, and leadership development, I help businesses create environments where employees feel supported, valued, and motivated.
From team-building workshops to wellness programs that prioritize mental and physical health, my approach is designed to cultivate happier, healthier, and more productive teams.
When people thrive, businesses flourish—and that’s the kind of transformation I’m here to deliver.
Entrepreneurial Adventures
Moving to New York opened the door to a new chapter in my entrepreneurial journey. What began as a simple leather-importing idea blossomed into high-end boutique ventures in Manhattan.
These businesses taught me more than just the intricacies of leadership and strategy—they deepened my understanding of what it takes to build something meaningful, grow through challenges, and lead with purpose.
Today, I bring these lessons to every family business, workplace, and individual I coach.

“I didn’t get a chance to tell you in person how much I enjoyed your workshop last week. A couple of my students told me the next day that they’d used your 7-second stress reduction technique and it was extremely helpful to them.
I thought that was a pretty solid example of your effectiveness; not only did they hear you, they remembered AND used the technique during a stressful experience. Great job!!
I would like to recommend to my principal that you speak to our entire student body.”

“Thank you for your wonderful presentation yesterday at our Queens Occupational Therapist Share Fair! Your contribution truly made the day a meaningful experience for all who attended! It was amazing that in a room of 200 gregarious therapists, one could hear a pin drop during your meditation exercise.
This was such an important experience for many of our therapists. Thank you again for your generosity and your thoughtful presentation. We hope to work with you again!”
