I’m the Co-Founder and CEO of ADIN.AI, an AI-native holistic media planning platform laser-focused on becoming the “Home Screen” for Enterprise advertisers (B2B SaaS). At ADIN.AI, we’re reshaping how brands manage digital ad investments by making ad performance easier to track and optimize, all while reducing time and cost. In just its first year, ADIN.AI earned recognition on Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Companies” list.
My journey began with Youth Republic, where I led the way in youth marketing in Turkey and was featured on Fortune’s “40 Under 40” list five times. Later, I co-founded YW, a creative agency combining data and creativity, bringing in over 100 industry awards.
With a “Why Not?” mindset, I’m dedicated to making ADIN.AI the go-to platform for advertisers worldwide—turning vision into action.
