With over 20 years of professional experience in corporate law, Öykü embarked on a journey of exploration and learning.
Holding a bachelor’s degree in Law and post-graduate certificates in Women & Leadership and Diversity from Cornell University, she gained valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of organizations and honed her strategic approach.
As a single mother with a passion for travel and immersing herself in new cultures, her curiosity around diversity and inclusion grew. This led her to actively seek ways to help others find their sense of belonging, both in the workplace and the world.
A remarkable achievement as she was the first recipient outside the United States to receive the prestigious award.
In 2018, she made a transformative move to the UAE and transitioned into Human Resources, where she could support organizations and leaders in fostering inclusivity and growth.
Her passion for writing has resulted in two published books, including a co-authored work titled ‘She Dares,’ which features inspiring narratives from 36 women worldwide. Additionally, her articles on diversity, women empowerment, and challenging the status quos have been featured in prestigious magazines, blogs, and websites.
With her blend of legal acumen, people expertise, and a strong focus on diversity and inclusion, Öykü brings a unique perspective to the table, offering actionable strategies and insights to create lasting positive change.
