About Melike

As a strategy and operations leader with 10+ years of experience across consulting and industry roles on multiple continents, I specialize in bridging strategy and execution — translating complex business challenges into practical, scalable solutions that deliver measurable impact.

My work sits at the intersection of large-scale transformation and hands-on delivery, whether it is leading operating model redesigns for multibillion-dollar organizations, driving supply chain growth for mid-sized distributors, co-developing strategy for an AI startup that secured NSF funding or building new sourcing capabilities for an industrial enterprise. Across these roles, I’ve consistently combined strategic thinking with executional rigor.

Now based in Germany, I’m focused on opportunities in strategy, supply chain, and transformation across the European market. I bring a global perspective, cross-cultural fluency, and a strong track record of delivering results in complex, international environments.

I am particularly drawn to how technology, sustainability and evolving supply chains are reshaping industries, and to the work of building resilient systems, creating long-term value, and, and delivering outcomes that matter for both businesses and communities.
