About Me
I work at the intersection of technology, go-to-market strategy, and global markets.
With more than two decades of experience across enterprise software and emerging technologies, my work has focused on how complex technologies move from innovation to real-world adoption, particularly in enterprise and cross-border environments.
My background spans both early-stage and enterprise-scale settings, with hands-on exposure across the Middle East, Africa, Türkiye, Europe, and the United States. Over time, this has shaped a practical, market-driven perspective on how teams build commercial engines, align product and go-to-market strategy, and navigate growth across regions.
I am the host of The CTO Show with Mehmet, a global podcast featuring 500+ conversations with founders, operators, and technology leaders. These discussions offer a front-row view into how technology leaders think, decide, and execute in fast-moving and highly technical domains.
I am also the author of From Nowhere to Next, a best-selling book that reflects on my own journey and distills lessons from innovators shaping the future of technology and business.
This site is a space to share perspective, context, and ideas on technology leadership, go-to-market excellence, and how innovation travels across global markets.
