Leadership & Transformation Mentor · Barcelona

A new role, a new country, a new chapter.

The hard part always starts afterward. I work with people going through these transitions and with organizations that want to support their employees in this regard. I don't offer a one-size-fits-all solution.

Together, we identify the first concrete step to take based on what you already have and we take it right away. We also decide on the next steps together. Drawing on twenty years in global operations, fifteen of them in leadership and my own experience as an immigrant since 2004.

What people say

People I've walked this road with

From the people I've mentored

Direct feedback from mentoring clients I have worked with one to one.

"When I started working with Bengi, I was in the middle of a major career change and did not really know where I was heading. For the first time, I looked honestly at what I wanted in the long run. Once that became clear, I could focus more calmly on the work in front of me. I learned not to run myself into the ground while setting priorities in the middle of daily pressure. I could not have found my footing this fast on my own."

Kaya AykutFounder, previously at Google

"We worked on my adaptation process after moving to Italy, and on managing the uncertainty around finding a job. What changed for me was the ability to look beyond the pattern I wanted to build based on my previous experience, and to consider options outside it. I saw how the psychological foundation of migration affects every layer of life. Thank you Bengi, for handling every unusual situation with kindness and quick thinking, and for making me feel safe, even during the sessions themselves."

Gökçe B.Project Manager, relocation to Italy

From the people I've led and worked alongside

LinkedIn recommendations from managers, peers and direct reports from my operations career. None of them were mentoring clients.

"It was a pleasure working with Bengi. She is highly effective at managing teams, driving real impact, and ensuring things move forward with clarity and focus."

Iván HernándezThen Country Manager at BooBoo

"Her greatest contribution was her unwavering empathy and leadership of the team. As she transitions into coaching, her ability to understand diverse perspectives and support individuals through stressful transitions will be an incredible asset."

Karen ReithThen COO and Co-founder at Service Club Delivery

"Bengi brings the human element to business."

My story

Shaped by the thresholds I've crossed myself

Born in İzmir, formed in İstanbul and rebuilt from the ground up in Barcelona since 2004. My own migration, motherhood and career changes taught me what people actually need in moments of uncertainty. Not a quick answer, but to be heard and to trust the next step.

Today I bring twenty years of global operations experience together with professional mentoring methods, so the complexity of a leadership transition or relocation becomes strategic clarity.
