The annual “Türkiye’s 50 Value-Creating CTOs” survey by Business Life magazine identifies leaders who stand out in the field of technology across different sectors. In the study, companies are evaluated based on seven main criteria: fair and transparent management, innovative steps, competitiveness in global markets, strong communication with stakeholders, respect for social values and support for society during times of crisis.

This year’s selection committee included experienced business leaders such as Sureyya Ciliv, Mehmet T. Nane, Umran Beba, and Dr. Bahadir Kaleagasi. Among the leaders from the energy, finance, retail, aviation, and logistics sectors, Arkas Holding CIO Mert Oruz was recognized for his work in technology management and digital transformation.

As the importance of digitalization grows steadily in traditional sectors such as logistics and maritime, the technology and innovation projects carried out at Arkas Holding enhance operational efficiency, improve customer experience, and support sustainability goals. Under Oruz’s leadership, these initiatives strengthen the group’s competitiveness while building a corporate structure that is prepared for the future.
