Welcome to my financial blog. Whether you are a student navigating the complexities of management or a professional looking for industry-specific insights, I am glad you are here.
My name is Dr. Sahin, and I have spent the last two decades at the intersection of finance, strategy, and heavy industry. My career has spanned the aviation, transport-logistics, IT, and nuclear energy sectors—giving me a unique vantage point on how capital moves through diverse global markets.

Academic Background & Research
My professional practice is grounded in a rigorous academic foundation. I am a 2006 graduate of Istanbul University Business School, followed by an MBA in 2009. Recently, I completed my PhD at Baskent University within the Department of Finance.
My specialized research and expertise focus on:

My Philosophy
Beyond the balance sheets and boardroom strategies, I am a proud father of three daughters. They are my greatest motivation and the reason I value the long-term sustainability of the industries I work in.
I have always believed that knowledge is most valuable when shared. I started this blog to act as a bridge between the corporate world and the classroom. My goal is to provide business and management students with a “real-world” perspective that textbooks often miss.
“Experience is a collective asset. By sharing it, we empower the next generation of leaders to build on a stronger foundation.”
Thank you for visiting. I hope the insights shared here help you on your own professional journey.
Enjoy the blog.
