• Selen loves the combination of tech and creativity. That’s why marketing communications is a great match to her ‘way of life’. She likes to translate smart, complex technologies into simple, human-centric messages.
• She believes that diversity and esthetics are an inseparable part of life. Pursuing these qualities, she takes a holistic approach to marketing communications. She likes to imagine how other people see things and tries to catch their interest in ways that appeal to them.
• Currently, Selen works as interim marcom project manager at Omron Industrial Automation. She thoroughly enjoys collaborating with product managers across Europe for this strongly competitive, Japanese company specialized in robotics. An eye-opener for her have been her introduction to Japanese business ethics and their vision on society in a tech-based future.
• Her interest in nature and science came to her at a young age already. Growing up with a mining engineer dad, she was introduced to magical earth with colorful minerals that are alive. And, yes, she believes the universe has a soul.
• Selen and music. They have a sacred bond. She studied music at high school, graduating honors. As well as being a jazz lover, she feeds her soul non-stop with any good music. Concerts, music & dance festivals and radio programs are part and parcel of her life.
• She started working as a musician when she was 16. Combined her university education in marketing communications with jobs in the cinema and working for events companies. These experiences gave her the chance to see that everything in life is built upon human relationships.
• Working for many different global multinationals, she learned fast and she learned a lot. For instance, on the workings of a corporate structure in complex finance, food, agriculture, health and technology companies. And how to fulfil both company- and personal goals within such a structure.
• She moved to the Netherlands three years ago with her kids Olivia and Oskar. Nothing can beat cozy get-togethers that combine her family, friends, good food, nice talks and some great music.
• Yoga, Pilates and travel are her essentials. But, from time to time, she also likes the thrills of extreme activities such as paragliding, sailing and skydiving.
• She’s working on setting up her own online design store (as side business) with her sister.
