■ Career achievements: Managed approximately 50 tax inspections of large-scale tax payers including companies from the social media, digital marketing, mobile gaming and construction sectors. One tax inspection report led to one of the highest tax penalties ever levied by the Tax Inspection Board. Led a team of seven tax inspectors to investigate fraudulent bills being issued by companies. The subsequent report was read by high ranking officials and resulted in a change to the law that will decrease the number of fraudulent bills being produced and reduce the workload of tax inspectors. Identified a business opportunity in trading Tether (a cryptocurrency stablecoin pegged to the US dollar), in US dollars and Turkish lira. Partnered with an algorithmic trader and a software developer to launch a company which returned profit of 200% of the initial investment within 18 months.
