About

With an illustrious career spanning in-house and private practice, Buse Pınar Kaçar has held senior roles in major multinational companies, including Carrefour and GSK. She joined Yörsan as chief legal and corporate affairs officer in 2014, shortly after the company’s acquisition by the private equity fund Abraaj Capital. Her responsibilities stretch beyond the legal department, as she oversees all corporate matters and she is also member of the executive committee. During her time in Yörsan, Pınar Kaçar has built a sophisticated legal department from scratch, which has supported a number of strategic transactions. ‘When I first joined there was no legal department and Yörsan consisted of four separately managed companies’ she says. ‘I led the restructuring project and merger of the four companies and established the legal and compliance structure. The biggest achievement was driving the company from a family-owned business to a well governed corporate company’.
