Ebru Şinik’s reflections on Gülden Türktan, one of KAGİDER’s legendary presidents

“Yesterday, I was a guest on the ‘İş’in Seyri’ programme with Ms. Gülden Türktan — one of the rare individuals who has inspired me for years through her success in both business and NGO leadership.”

“I first met Gülden Hanım in 2013 when I joined KAGİDER. As President at the time, she tirelessly spread her energy, motivation and positivity through her strength, determination and clarity. She still does, of course.”

“One of her most remarkable achievements, especially for women, was persuading world leaders during the 2015 G20 Summit hosted by Turkey to establish the W20 — the G20’s women-focused social assistance group. This initiative supports economic growth and gender equality across G20 countries.”

“Following her appointment as Chair of the W20 World Founding Committee, she oversaw the preparation and publication of the W20 communiqué, which promotes sustainable economic growth and women’s participation in the business world. She continues to serve as Chair of this platform.”

“In 2016, she was selected as one of 15 female members of the World Bank’s Development and Gender Advisory Council, which focuses on global economic development. In addition to her demanding career, she has served as Chair of both KAGİDER and IWF Turkey. Currently the Founding President of W20, she was also named by Forbes as one of the ‘50 Successful Women Over 50’ in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) — selected among leading businesspeople, political leaders and scientists.”

“Yesterday, together with Ms. Gülden Türktan — a true pioneer of the business and NGO world — we discussed the importance of Corporate Wellbeing programmes.”
