General Counsel
Samsung Electronics Manufacturing Operations
Turkiye
“Over time, I learned that influence as a General Counsel is built through consistency, commercial understanding, and credibility with operational teams.”
As an experienced legal professional with a strong background in labour law, commercial law, contract management, litigation, employee relations, compliance, and data protection (KVKK), I have consistently led legal functions in major organisations
I specialise in managing all legal and compliance risks for large-scale operations, with a particular focus on employee relations, union negotiations, collective bargaining processes, and corporate compliance programs.
Throughout my career, I have built legal structures from scratch, successfully negotiated collective labour agreements, managed complex litigation portfolios, and implemented compliance frameworks aligned with both local regulations and global standards.
Academically, I hold an LL.M. in Labour and Social Security Law from Gazi University, and I am currently pursuing an Executive MBA at Istanbul Technical University (ITU), enhancing my strategic leadership skills.
I am passionate about providing proactive legal support, minimising corporate risks, and enabling sustainable growth by bridging legal strategy with business objectives.
”The role of the General Counsel is not to eliminate risk entirely, but to define the organisation’s acceptable risk boundaries in a way that supports sustainable growth.”
