To Our Distinguished Members,

As we approach the end of 2025, we are delighted to bring the year to a close with an inspiring gathering shaped by a visionary leader and a strategic theme. On Thursday, December 18, 2025, at 12:00 PM, we will host Nilhan Onal Gökçetekin, CEO of Hepsiburada, at Galataport Liman Lokantası, which will be reserved for our members for this final meeting of the year. Our luncheon will feature a special session titled: “Driving Success in the AI Era: Strategic Tech Integration, Innovation, and a Winning Mindset.”

Nilhan Onal Gökçetekin has built an exceptional international career. During her seven-year tenure at Amazon Europe, she led strategic categories including consumer electronics,
insurance, apparel, and footwear, and served as the founding Global Head of Amazon Shipping—shaping Amazon’s next-generation logistics infrastructure. Before Amazon, she held senior
executive roles across various markets at Procter & Gamble. Her accomplishments have earned her global recognition, including being named among the most successful Turkish executives
worldwide (H&S – Global Turks par Excellence) and one of Europe’s most influential women in technology.
In this exclusive session, Gökçetekin will explore:

• The global transformation of the e-commerce ecosystem
• Turkey’s rising strategic role
• The impact of technological investments on business models
