Istanbul is one of my favorite cities, so I was thrilled to be asked to provide a fundraising training to local grantees of a global foundation. During the trip, I took time to go hang gliding in the beautiful seaside town of Kas, on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast. My tandem partner that day was an ex-Turkish Air Force pilot named “Whiskey.”

Founder & CEO

In 2016, I founded Summery, a science-based AI-driven technology company that quantifies values, such as empathy, integrity, innovation, agility, and disruption, as well as organizational culture.

As a SaaS enterprise company, we measure your company’s Social Capital—the ‘S’ in ESG. As a result, DEI, CSR, and compliance executives can anticipate and implement changes in workplace culture, increasing employee retention and engagement, while decreasing financial, operational, and reputational risk.

Not only do we use our behavioral science-based applications to assess individual values and measure organizational culture, but also to activate changes in stakeholder behavior via our values-based recommender systems. Summery’s main measurement tools, the KindQ™ and Net Culture Score® (NCS®), are used in 146 countries with multilingual capabilities.

Summery works with partners such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, NASDAQ and Fortune 500 companies like Salesforce and Meta, and educational organizations like Stanford University, Duke University, and the California Community College system.

You can follow Summery on LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube. Be sure to check out our cheeky 2-minute video.
