EY US Central Region Center for Board Matters Leader

Agile and future-focused leader. Cross-discipline, multicultural connector and innovator. Storyteller. Artist.

Cigdem is the EY US Central Region Center for Board Matters (CBM) Leader. She is thoughtful and thought-provoking in identifying and bringing critical issues to boards and CEOs who are grappling with today’s uncertain business environment as they transform for the future.

How Cigdem is building a better working world 

Companies and their boards are in the midst of a transformation that will ultimately determine the future we collectively share. I bring the right issues to the table for discussion and action. Understanding and communicating the story at hand is my focus.

The power of storytelling is that it enables leaders to understand what is happening and therefore ask the right question. Without the story, there is no question. And without the right question, there is no real progress.
