I am an entrepreneur and investor with special interests in new media and technology. I am currently a General Partner at iLab Ventures, Turkey's premier internet investor.

Until 2008, I was the founding CEO of Mondus (www.mondus.net) a ground-breaking Turkish social network, and I ran SP Ventures, focused on seed stage investments.

In 2005, I exited SelectMinds, a category-creating leader in the enterprise social networking area, which I co-founded in 1999 and led until March 2005.
