Why I set out on this path
Less a résumé than a story, because we connect with the story first.
For years I worked where science and strategy meet, inside one of the world's largest healthcare organizations. As a Senior Director at Pfizer I led teams across Türkiye, Europe, and emerging markets. I came to know disease, medicine, and the system from the inside.
But over time I realized the question that truly occupied me wasn't treatment: how do people live the second half of their lives? Was it possible to age not just longer, but better? And when did that begin?
The answer led me to a single idea: the preparation that begins after 30 shapes the second 50 years of life. Longevity isn't a list of biohacks; it's a balance struck between health, meaning, relationships, career, and authenticity.
Otantik Longevity is a reflection of that search. Without leaving my identity as a physician behind, I'm looking for a warmer, more human language: to age with intention, while staying yourself.
My approach
I move with curiosity rather than fear, with meaning rather than optimization. The goal isn't to postpone death; it's to make the second 50 years truly worth living.
