I developed my competencies in different tasks. For the last 6 years, I've been leading the company in national and international projects and incentives.
The foundations of Brisa were laid with Lassa, which was established back in 1974 with the initiative of Sabancı Holding and its partners. It was named Brisa as a result of the partnership which ensued between the Sabancı Group and Bridgestone Corporation, the world's largest tire manufacturer, in 1988.
I am currently working as Government Relations and Sustainability Incentives Manager at Brisa, with 30 years of professional experience in international trade, regulatory compliance, and incentive mechanisms. Throughout my career, I have been recognized not only for my technical expertise but also for my adaptability, strong communication skills, and solution-oriented mindset. Over the past five years, I have led Brisa’s participation in national and international funding programs with successful projects on sustainable products, chemicals, water, waste management, and energy.
I'm aligned with Brisa's sustainability-driven business model and assist in national and international reporting such as CDP, Ecovadis and TSRS (Turkish Sustainability Reporting Standards). I update management on regulations especially EU Green Deal, EUDR, ESPR, CBAM, ETS, Taxonomy, DPP, Single Use Plastics etc and give regular trainings company-wide. I represent Brisa in several NGOs such as TÜSİAD( Turkish industry and business association), LASDER (Tyre Manufacturers Association), YASED (International Investors Association).
I am passionate about building bridges between industry, government, and academia, and I place great value on teamwork, openness, and mentoring younger colleagues. With a high sense of responsibility, dedication and strategic foresight, I'm motivated to create long-term value by aligning business growth with sustainability and to expand these efforts further within Horizon Europe and other international collaborations.
