Okan O.

I am a reputable digital creative, currently operating as a consultant. As an academically trained designer in the school of Bauhaus, I have 24 years of experience in leading and contributing to award winning projects of designing omni-channel experiences. My strength and core competence is to strategise and execute the path of a solid digital product/service; translate the brand into digital touchpoints, optimize the business/sales requirements into usable and desirable digital services and deliver it in a reusable and measurable ways. And while doing that, collaborate with the internal business and competence unit heads. I am told to be an inspiring leader for the teams I led - I prefer teaching by doing - and I work hard to be an influential partner for the internal business stakeholders or the organizations. Many brands and services I have designed have received remarkable interest, but more importantly, I earned many highly satisfied returning clients over the years, globally. If we apply the same rule to the people who has worked in my teams, I received high interest in joining my new projects or hoping to have worked together in the future. For the last 7 years, I have specialized in leading large organizations’ design teams and be the gatekeeper of design excellence. In that role, I operate at the center of brand, design and other BU heads (validation and testing, business, sales and marketing). In relevance to above, for 3,5 years I led the Design Language/Systems team of Nordea as an interim Creative Director. I also worked in a similar interim role in Ferratum collaborating with product development and brand/marketing, and Huawei (Cloud Design Systems) covering the global digital product development, therefore I am very familiar with the position in question and I am very confident delivering a world class leadership and leaving a mark.
