The Alps Beneath My Wings!
In my previous post, I wrote about our trip to Zermatt, Switzerland. In this post, I’ll tell you about one of the wildest things we did during that trip. We went paragliding in Zermatt—something that would give even those without a fear of heights pause. Now I’ll share what we
A Broken System, Stressed-Out People, Stressed-Out Animals
The other day, while celebrating my mother’s birthday at a restaurant, a street cat attacked our small dog Blackie in the enclosed winter garden area.

Those who know me are aware that I started my solar energy career with CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) technology. After founding my first startup, Hitit Solar, I sold it to a foreign investor at a profit two years later and successfully transitioned to the PV (Photovoltaic) field. Even though we’ve
My Updates to Porter’s Five Forces Model
As I’ve mentioned before, I completed a master’s degree in engineering and technology management at Bosphorus University. In the Strategic Planning and Management course I took during my second semester, we studied Michael Porter’s “Five Forces of Competition” model. That’s when I got the brilliant idea to build on
A Presidency That Dragged Adana Demirspor to Rock Bottom
Imagine a club president who leads Adana Demirspor to promotion to the Süper Lig two years after taking office. A few years later, the team qualifies to compete in European tournaments for the first time in its history. But then, just a season or two after that success, the team
