We are Uplifters & Uplighters

Every woman lifted forward. Every story carried further.

We mentor, connect, and catalyze—because legacy is what we make possible together.
We don’t just open doors. We hold them open. And we walk through them side by side.

Let's WIN Together

Welcoming authentic connection: We create a space where we foster real relationships through shared stories and experiences.
Igniting collective action: We turn good intentions into real outcomes by bringing women and allies together to mentor, support, and build solutions as a united force.
Nurturing legacy-building: We create pathways for women to pass on their knowledge, open doors for the next generation, and see their influence ripple beyond their success.

Inside the Sisterhood

Her Voice. Her Echo.

Leyla Alaton

For me, TurkishWIN represents The New Woman!

She’s socially responsible, career-oriented, believes in sisterhood, takes motherhood seriously, and seeks equal partnerships. I learned so much at every event.

I’m proud to be a part of it.

In the evolving business landscape, the greatest strength lies in collective vision, inclusive growth, and meaningful collaboration.


The future of the economy is being built by women — and TurkishWIN is the network that empowers them to shape it.

Atıl Ünal

CEO, Lagalugacılar, İstanbul

TurkishWIN has always been an inspiring community for me. 

As a man, contributing to TurkishWIN's 'Uplighter' mission is especially meaningful to me. This is an important step that shows the inclusiveness of the community and the power of uniting around common values. I believe that TurkishWIN's motto 'If she did it, I can do it too!' has a broader impact not only among women but also with all supporters.

Sandy Sialom Türkmenoğlu

Co-Founder & CEO, Heartful Brands, Istanbul

I’ve had the privilege of shaping the TurkishWIN brand from the very beginning—15 years of bold ideas, shared purpose, and unstoppable women. What began as a circle of ambition has grown into a vibrant, action-driven sisterhood network. TurkishWIN reminds me that true impact lies not in what we achieve alone, but in what we spark in others.

Didem Gürcüoğlu Tekay

Senior Partner, Management Centre Türkiye (MCT) & Co-Founder, GROW, Istanbul
While each of us lives within the uniqueness of our own story, sharing stories reveals how much we actually have in common. Experiencing how human connection can be built through storytelling gives me hope.

Story Harvesting is a journey that plants that very hope—and each time, it becomes a discovery, a moment of learning.

Çiğdem Dönmez Penn

General Manager, Xsights Research & Consultancy, Washington D.C.

TurkishWIN offers a lovely circle of supportive, inspiring women who are each brilliant in their own wonderful ways.

    Dr. İnci Aydemir

    I met TurkishWIN as a medical student: curious, eager, and full of ambition. Today, on my path to becoming a physician-scientist, I carry the strength of this sisterhood with me. TurkishWIN has shaped my journey with courage, connection, and purpose. It’s an honor to give back through Binyaprak, our collective action platform built on shared growth and impact.
