His appointment strengthens the Supervisory Board with a young, engaged professional who truly has his heart in the right place. Orçun represents a group of ambitious and passionate young professionals, and he can amplify their voice within IDFA. This is of vital importance to us in this rapidly changing world. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Orçun and warmly welcome him as an official member of the Supervisory Board.”
