About

Şirin’s ability to learn unattached, transform and adapt is rooted in her humble beginnings, her natural curiosity and passion for travel and the arts, and in her corporate career with Hoffmann La Roche and Novartis. In her roles at these two innovation driven pharmaceutical firms that value curiosity, she was empowered to research and create cross-functional and multinational value from day one. Her continued success enabled her to step into key leadership roles in a major global product launch, the co-ordination of a first employee engagement program, and the transformation of a learning and development function that resulted in celebrated levels of employee engagement and market leadership. It was her move to the United States that inspired her shift to entrepreneurship. In 2006, Şirin launched her firm, StrategicStraits, Inc. focused on supporting organizations in their global collaborations, innovation and growth efforts. With a deep sense of service, she got certified as a Global Mindset® GlobeSmart® and Quantum Negotiation™ facilitator, became an executive education partner at Thunderbird School of Global Management and Stanford Graduate School of Business, a leadership mentor at the Founder Institute, and a certified executive Co-Active coach with the Inpowered Coaching Institute.
