I can hardly believe it has already been three years since I embarked on an incredible journey with PMI Duty Free as a Finance Manager. Looking back, it's remarkable to see how much has changed, both in my professional life and personally.
When I joined the team (on June 1st, 2020) amidst the challenging times of the pandemic, I made a bold decision to move from the beautiful city of Izmir to the vibrant metropolis of Istanbul. It was a leap of faith, but one that has undoubtedly paid off. Embracing this change has not only broadened my horizons but also allowed me to contribute to the growth and success of PMI Duty Free Finance.

During my time here, I have been fortunate to receive recognition for my hard work and dedication. I am humbled to have received the "Excellence Award" and the prestigious "ABCD Award" for my achievements during the transformation of PMI and Duty Free. One particular highlight was our Finance Transformation initiative in the Duty-Free, which led to our team winning the coveted SFS Co-Pilot Team Award. These accolades serve as a testament to the collaborative spirit and innovative mindset that thrives within our organization.
Looking ahead, I am excited to share that I have set my sights on embracing more global responsibilities. With a passion for expanding my expertise in global finance, I am actively working towards this objective. I firmly believe that by continuously challenging myself and staying abreast of the latest industry and digital trends, I can contribute to the growth and success of PMI on a global scale.
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities, support, and mentorship I have received during my time at PMI. None of my achievements would have been possible without the amazing colleagues and leaders who have inspired and guided me every step of the way.
As I reflect on the past three years, I am filled with a deep sense of pride and gratitude. I am eager to continue this remarkable journey, making meaningful contributions and driving success for Philip Morris International.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey so far, and here's to the next chapter of growth, challenges, and achievements together!
