Geek in Chief
Özgür Öztürk
In 1995, my father bought me my first computer. Immediately I fell in love with those ugly white boxes. 2 years later, my journey in IT Industry started at a local computer shop as a part time support guy. Since then I have been working in this industry nearly at all areas from local it support to team and department management. I have experience in both technical and managerial positions such as trainer, project manager, it manager, system admin and team leader. This diversity provided me the ability to see every aspect of the business and to look at things from a wider perspective. In addition to that I have worked together with all the levels from juniors to CXOs. That gave me the ability to understand their different priorities and way of workings.
