Evren Canturk

I graduated from Bilkent University in Türkiye with a degree in Industrial Engineering, completed my MBA at Warwick Business School in the UK, and earned a diploma in Artificial Intelligence Management from the MIT Sloan School of Management in the US.

I have over 20 years of banking experience specializing in private investments and wealth management, having worked at leading local and international banks such as Akbank, Garanti, Citibank, and Deutsche Bank. I was among the pioneers who launched Türkiye’s first internet investment platforms and mobile investment applications.

In recent years, I have been leading initiatives in Blockchain Banking, Tokenization, and secure Crypto Investments. I led Türkiye’s first Eurobond and Money Market Fund tokenization projects in collaboration with Ava Labs (Avalanche). I currently serve as the CEO and a Board Member of Misyon Kripto, a licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Türkiye, and a subsidiary of Inveo — one of the country’s largest independent investment holdings.

I am also among the first banking executives in Türkiye to hold both the CFA ESG certificate and the Licensed Angel Investor title.

In addition, I serve on the CFA Society’s Blockchain Committee, DEİK’s Tokenization Committee, Bilkent University’s Engineering Advisory Board, the U.S.-based International Institute of Finance’s Digital Assets Committee, and several other crypto asset working groups.
