About Me
Hi there! I'm Cem — AI Strategy Advisor, Innovation Architect, Facilitator & Author.
I work with leaders who want to blend smart strategy, human-centered thinking, and new tech to drive actual change. My focus areas? Innovation, creativity, and AI — helping teams navigate what's coming next and grow in ways that stick.
I've spent 20+ years in business transformation, including 7 years at Salesforce. Now I help companies use agentic AI to get things done that matter. My goal is simple: help you and your team not just keep up with the future of work, but lead it.
Together, we’ll apply fresh thinking, proven frameworks, and a deeply human approach to unlock innovation and build lasting momentum.
I also invest in early-stage companies I believe in, so I'm not just giving advice from the sidelines. I'm in it with you.
Let’s think big, build smart, and shape what comes next.
How I got here.
I founded C5T & Company to help organizations turn strategy into action. Along the way, I developed the Cloud Engagement Model, — a framework that connects vision, execution, and results for digital transformation.
I also wrote Innovate Now: A Guide to Coaching, Workshop, and Facilitation — a practical playbook for leaders who want to drive innovation through better collaboration.
I'm always learning. Here's what's shaped how I work:
- IDEO U's Change Leadership Certificate — human-centered systems thinking
- MIT Sloan's Executive Certificate — AI and business strategy
- Stanford LEAD program — innovation and leadership
- MBA from OU Business School — creativity, innovation, change
- Professional certifications — Strategyzer, Scaled Agile, Scrum Alliance, and more
- Teaching — Adjunct Professor at Mediadesign University
- Mentoring — early-stage startups at Startupbootcamp and Lean Startup
Now I'm focused on one thing: embedding [AI x Design Thinking] into how organizations actually work. I'm building tools, workshops, and AI workflows that boost creativity, clarify strategy, and change how change happens.
