Why Energy Straits

Energy Straits offers more than analysis — it provides context, foresight, and strategy. Based in Istanbul, I operate at the intersection of energy flows and geopolitical forces, offering nuanced insight grounded in regional realities and informed by global trends.

 

With 20+ years of expertise across Middle East–Turkey–Europe energy markets, I bring a rare blend of geopolitical awareness, communication skill, and strategic perspective. My work bridges research and real-world application, helping leaders understand risk, shape narratives, and make informed decisions in a complex energy landscape.
