“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”— Søren Kierkegaard

We begin 2026 with reflection, intention, and a shared sense of possibility.

At this first breakfast of the new year, we are honored to welcome two distinguished leaders:

Murat Koç, General Manager of Barilla Turkey, and Nursel Ölmez Ateş, Group President of People, Communication & Sustainability at Borusan Holding,

who will engage in an open, sincere dialogue with HR leaders from Turkey’s leading companies and global organizations—responding to their most difficult, courageous, and thought-provoking questions.

Over the past five years, we have been living through a powerful technological acceleration—one that has deeply reshaped not only how organizations operate, but how we feel, connect, and exist within them. Should this era frighten us? Perhaps.Should it excite us? Absolutely. Should it make us more courageous, more hopeful, more human, more vulnerable? Without a doubt.
