1995to 2004 · San Francisco

Learning the internet while it was being invented.

I arrived in the United States in 1995 and stayed for the whole first wave. An MBA in strategic e-business management at the University of San Francisco, projects with Disney and Amazon, and work across Silicon Valley.

In 1999 I joined Cyberbuck, a prepaid internet card startup building alternative payment systems for a web that had only just learned to sell.

2004Istanbul, then the world

One system for every brand, on three continents.

Back in Turkey I built web projects for the country’s leading brands. In 2006 we won BSH’s global project as a Turkish company: one content management system for all of the group’s brands, long before WordPress was a household name.

For two years I led the rollouts in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Singapore, Dubai and China.

2009social and location

Small messages, local places.

With ProbTour, a European Union project, we built a network where small businesses could share short micro-marketing posts, ahead of the microblogging wave.

Then came LBSN, location-based social networking: a location-aware tourist guide for Istanbul’s year as European Capital of Culture, sponsored by the Istanbul Development Agency.

2013Bangkok

Eighteen million users, delivered agile.

For True, one of Thailand’s GSM operators, we built a digital store serving 18 million users, run end to end with agile project management while agile was still new to most teams.

In 2014 I founded a company in Thailand and developed mobile marketing apps from Turkey for the Thai market.

2015Zenkronn

Everything I’d learned, under one name.

In 2015 I brought it all together as Zenkronn: custom software, consulting and future-tech projects across IoT, blockchain, fintech and smart cities.

In 2016 we launched Braxium, our own coin and digital wallet, through an ICO.

2017Kronnika

Software robots, so people can do people’s work.

Robotic process automation caught our attention, and we started Kronnika, Turkey’s first RPA project. In 2019 an investment from APY turned it into a company.

Since then we’ve worked with global brands like McDonald’s, KFC and Philip Morris, under one motto: take back your time.

2023new frontiers

From books to screens to joysticks, and AI video.

In 2023 I set up an SPV in the United States to take the Book to Screen to Joystick project global, and invested in it.

In 2024 we founded KORA Studios in the US to build an AI video generation system that stands apart in a crowded wave.

Nowthe AI era

From doing the work to directing it.

I’m repositioning Kronnika for the AI era as an execution layer: an operating system where AI decides and Kronnika executes. VOSS, the Venture Operating System Services, is its first showcase.

Next is the Kronnika AI organization, where people in a company build digital twins of their work and a new generation of companies grows around them. In the AI era people should direct the work, not drown in it, and everything I know goes into helping companies make that move.
