You Can Do It! Success Against the Odds: Film Screening and Panel Discussion

On 13 March 2019, Turkey Mozaik Foundation and TurkishWin organised an evening of learning, sharing and inspiration to celebrate International Women’s Day.

During the sold-out event, held at Microsoft Reactor London, we had the opportunity to watch the uplifting documentary “Yapabilirsin” (You Can do It!) by Tuluhan Tekelioglu, about the success stories of amazing women from very diverse backgrounds in Turkey.

The film screening was followed by a stimulating panel discussion with four extraordinary women, who shared their stories and experiences.

The panellists were:

– Cagla Bekbolet, Managing Partner, Egon Zehnder

– Didem Un Ates, Senior Director, AI Customer and Partner Engagement Business Applications Group, Could & AI, Microsoft

– Nilufer Atalay, Co-Founder and Trustee, Turkey Mozaik Foundation

– Muge (Eksi) Mentes, Managing Director and Head of Debt Capital Markets for Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, UniCredit Bank

All ticket sales proceeds were used towards costs, with excess proceeds and related guest donations directed to Turkey Mozaik Foundation’s Gender Equality fund.
