Elle Turkey in their May issue on sports and health, included me among some other super accomplished women athletes. It was such an honour to have my name next to theirs. I was also super lucky to have my profile picture taken by the super talented photographer Pinar Gedikozer.

ABOUT

I am Professor of Marketing at San Francisco State University. I've also taught at University of Utah, American University-Beirut, Universite de Nice-Sophia Antipolis-France, University of Innsbruck-Austria, Bahcesehir University-Istanbul&Silicon Valley, and Bogazici University-Istanbul. To learn more about my research publications, see my Academia.edu profile. As a marketing consultant, I have worked with brands such as Philips, SCA, and REI.

I am also an avid endurance athlete: climber, ultrarunner, adventure racer, skier, and mountaineer. This blog features stories from occasional adventures, some of which makes context for my academic research on risk marketing and risk consumption - featured in BBC, KelloggInsight, and Spectrum (Scientific American German Edition) among others. (Here are some of the latest press on my Everest climb: NTV, TDF, TRT.)

7-SUMMITS PROJECT

I have been climbing the highest mountains on every geographical continent, known as 7-Summits:

1. Asia - Everest, 8848m

2. South America - Aconcagua, 6962m

3. North America - McKinley, 6195m

4. Africa - Kilimanjaro, 5963m

5. Europe - Elbrus, 5642m

6. Oceania - Carstenz, 4484m

7. Antarctica - Vinson, 4897m

(& Australia - Kosciusko, 2228m)

Carstenz Peak is the real 7th summit with Oceania as the real continent but I keep Kosciusko in my list as well, which was part of the old list. I have already climbed 6 of them (in bold). Read its short story in Skylife Magazine of Turkish Airlines, November 2015.
