About Me
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.
