Bio
Joe Hennessy
I worked with Furkan as part of some ongoing D&I work I contrbute to in my role at Microsoft. I found working with Furkan for an external mentoring event to be a really enjoyable experience. She was a clear and deliberate communicator with strong and compelling calls to action. Furkans help and assistance in vetting and matching for a mentoring program was excellent and that was reflected in our survey results from participants. I would be happy to recommend DiverseIn again and felt Furkan gave us a great perspective and diverse talent pool which we could not have put together alone. Many thanks for your work on a great partnership Furkan - look forward to a continuing, mutually beneficial partnership.

I had the pleasure of attending ' Thinking differently about Neurodiversity at work' webinar and hearing Furkan share her experiences and also having spent a little time with her, I felt instantly empowered and inspired! Furkan has a warmth about her and I hope to work with her one day!

I had the great pleasure to work with Furkan on an email automation and I really enjoyed the process. I learned from Furkan, and she learned from me: it was a true exchange of learning. Furkan Karayel is the real deal: she lives her passion and is steadfast in her beliefs. I wish her well as she continues her very important journey. May 2021 be a big year for you Furkan!
