Years of
experience

Founder and CEO of Beonbrand Inc., a Toronto-based Media, Systems & AI studio. I help founders, organizations, and growth-stage companies clarify their message, improve their public presence, and build smarter operating systems.

Twenty years across journalism, anchor desks, voice-over, education marketing, and entrepreneurship taught me how trust and human behavior shape what actually works in a brand, a team, a workflow, and where they break down.

Started in newsrooms in Türkiye. Moved to Canada in 2015. Years inside ILAC during its global growth. Founded Beonbrand in 2020. Today: practical AI through Beonbrand AI Labs, behavioral intelligence through PairBright. One throughline: help people and businesses communicate better, operate smarter, and grow with purpose.

Yusuf does amazing work. He learns about the brand and story-tells it in video. He uses the latest technology and is a fast adopter. A tireless worker who will get things done fast when needed. Starting as a respected journalist in Turkey, I watched him pivot into a successful entrepreneur using many of those same skills while never stopping to learn. Now he has matured into a full-service media company. A strong understanding of the international education space. I would say he is number one in the world for this sector.

Yusuf is a remarkable professional. I have known Yusuf for 3 years and have seen first hand the different roles and responsibilities he has taken in digital and social media, content creation and video. He is the kind of person who consistently performs beyond expectations. Very knowledgeable in media and great at building relationships, he can relate to different stakeholders and anticipate their needs. Creative, proactive, a problem solver. I am happy to provide my highest recommendation.
