My friends call me a 'pace-setter.' Sometimes I am impatient, I think, but you must be fast and flexible in business because uncertainty is the only certainty in life.
We're in a 21st century, transparent and connected world.
I am pleased that my work has been recognized, and I hope to be a role model.
I don't have time for regrets. I go forward; I'm a doer, and I always have projects and dreams.

I wear two hats. The one is business and increasing my shareholders' value; the other is social responsibility.
I believe that raising the status of women in Turkey is a responsibility shared by everyone. It is not only in Turkey; we are still in need of serious support for the role of women in business and society all around the world.
I believe that it is girls' human rights to go to school to be educated, minimum, until they are 18.
