The event opened with remarks by Dr. Bahadır Kaleağası, who emphasized that diversity is not merely a matter of representation, but a fundamental driver of more qualified, inclusive, and sustainable decision-making processes.
The opening remarks for Changing Seats: From the Executive Chair to the Boardroom, organized in collaboration with Women on Boards Türkiye.
Moving from an executive role to board membership is not simply a change in title—it requires a shift in perspective. In his opening speech, Dr. Bahadır Kaleağası, Board Member of Argüden Governance Academy, reflects on how boards define direction, ensure oversight, and safeguard long-term value. He highlights why governance must evolve in an era shaped by artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, diversity, and growing expectations around trust, accountability, and foresight.
