I am a a community strategy consultant with a two-pronged specialism, with communities of developers and tech and traditional brands, startups and innovation being the first, and talent, future of work, digital nomadism and remote work being the second.

I support the former of these specialisms through my own consultancy that is ilkerakansel.com, and do the same for the latter through my founding partnership at TalentLed Community Consultancy.

I have previously led developer communities for Google, innovation projects for Cisco and volunteers for the 2012 London Olympic Games, and with over 13 years of experience in Europe I am very well versed with the cultural, professional and community related challenges and opportunities across EMEA region in particular, which I would be happy to utilize towards delivering value to your organization.
