Skills
Summary
Galvanizing executive and CFO with experience in leading public and private companies through successful financial and operational transformations. Specific expertise in foreseeing challenges associated with rapid scaling, and creating strategies for anticipating and managing growth and risk. Consistently recognized as a thought-leader and innovator, including one patent and two patents-pending in analytic methodologies. Middle Eastern, multi-cultural, multi-lingual leader of global teams, with multiple international assignments. Fluent in English, Spanish, and Turkish. Connecting intellectual rigor with emotional intelligence, I am an effective board member, coaching and advising with proven success guiding tomorrow’s leaders within public, private, and non-profit organizations. My dedication to building better, stronger leaders led me to launch Fazilet Consulting, where I work with professionals and teams aspiring to accelerate their success. As the pandemic has propelled companies to explore new ways of working, enhanced leadership skills are greatly needed. These tools and capabilities, coupled with awareness, are key to retaining talent, while still meeting business goals.
