Life and career

edit

Oğuz Alper Öktem was born on January 10, 1991, in Istanbul. In 2009, he graduated from the Vehbi Koç Foundation Koç High School, where he received a full scholarship. He then completed his undergraduate degree in economics at the University of Chicago in three years with honors. He also completed a master's program in political economy at the London School of Economics[6][7], where he served as the president of the LSE Turkish Society during his time there.[8]

Shortly after graduating, he worked at Deutsche Bank's London office. In 2014, upon his return to Istanbul, he started working as the Chief Operating Officer at BluTV[9]. Subsequently, he worked at McKinsey & Company and was among the investors of Kolektif House[10][11]. In November 2018, thinking that micro mobility would offer a very important transportation solution for Istanbul, he founded Martı Technologies with his sister, Sena Öktem.[4] The company's shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on July 13, 2023,[5] and Oğuz Alper Öktem rang the opening bell.[2][12] Öktem has been awarded "Entrepreneur of the Year" in many award programs,[13][14][15] after starting his journey with a scooter he brought to Turkey on the back of his car.[3]
