About Me

My Motto: From union comes strengths – let's walk together!

Hi, I am Hulya!

Originally Turkish, I grew up in Germany, I moved back to Turkey-Istanbul with my family, where I started to learn the typewriter (yes there was no computer and no internet in the years of 1980’s) and my career at a multi-national company called “Reuters” as a sales secretary.

Being curious, I got involved in customer admin and from there I climbed up the career ladder, step by step, starting from Supervisor to Manager. I call myself “ from zero to hero”.

In 2005 I got the offer to move to Geneva to form the new global Customer Order Management Centre. I had multiple global responsibilities until 2022 when I was made redundant.

So, what’s next?

My decision was clear. I wanted to follow my passion. Passion to help people in their career, in their struggles, in life.

So, I did my Life, Career and Executive Coaching Diploma and accreditation. I coach and mentor professionals who feel stuck in their career to set them free, uncover their true and full potential and live a fulfilled life.

We spend more time at work, so why suffer?

I am a master career coach and capacity builder with a strong track record of helping individuals and organizations grow with clarity and confidence. With years of hands-on experience in leading diverse teams and expanding businesses across industries and countries, I bring a practical, cross-cultural approach to professional and personal development.

My work centers on empowering professionals to take bold, strategic steps in their careers—whether that means stepping into leadership, navigating transitions, or building new ventures. I’ve worked in dynamic environments where building capacity, adapting to change, and fostering collaboration were key to success.

I understand the challenges of operating across borders and cultures, and I use that knowledge to guide others in building high-performing teams, sustainable strategies, and resilient mindsets. If you’re ready to unlock your potential and scale your impact, I’m here to help you make it happen.

Like using music, aroma and different mind triggers for a sustainable habit and behaviour change.

Being an inspirational speaker, I engage in different conferences and TedxTalks.
