How Ozan is building a better working world

“I am passionate about building ventures because creating sustainable new businesses – whether through successful startups or corporate ventures – spurs innovation, creates opportunities and fuels economic growth. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to start with an idea and vision and transform it into a real business that creates value. Yet, it is no easy feat to go from zero to one and requires a tremendous team effort. Hence, I strive to bring positive energy, kindness and optimism to every interaction with my clients and teams to make it a success.”
