The person
behind
the work

I'm a Senior Product Marketer based in Vienna, working at the intersection of product strategy, brand, and regulated markets. I've spent a decade moving between large consumer organisations and complex FinTech environments, and I perform best where things aren't entirely figured out yet.

My work spans retail and institutional markets. I've built go-to-market strategies, launched products, and run customer marketing at companies like Reckitt Benckiser, Maesa, and Bitstamp, the regulated crypto exchange acquired by Robinhood. I understand how to make complex propositions clear, and how to keep product marketing strategy consistent across different audiences and channels.

Outside of that, I'm building Ural, a family pistachio business in Bozova, Urfa, Turkey. We're moving from B2B into D2C. It's hands-on work and I enjoy every part of it.
