Chief legal and people officer | Getir
Do you have a cause, business-related or otherwise, that you are passionate about?
As the chief legal officer, I am deeply committed to supporting causes and initiatives that align with our company’s mission and values. Professionally, I see my role not only as ensuring legal compliance but also as being a strategic partner to business units. This is true for the entire legal team. By collaborating with different departments, we help develop and strategize the business while actively mitigating and minimising legal risks. This approach not only protects our company’s interests but also fosters a culture of trust and integrity throughout our operations. I believe in leveraging our professional expertise and passions to contribute meaningfully to society and create positive change.
