Gelecek Varlık Touches the Lives of 20 Women in Its 20th Year

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, Gelecek Varlık Yönetimi, the leader in the asset management sector, has launched its corporate social responsibility project, the “Your Future” mentoring program. Carried out in cooperation with the YenidenBiz Association, the project aims to provide direct support to women who had to pause their careers for various reasons, helping them return to the workforce. Within the scope of the program, 20 executives from the company will mentor 20 women, offering support for their reintegration into professional life.

“With ‘Your Future,’ We Also Say ‘Remove the Burden’”

The “Your Future” mentoring program was introduced at an event attended by both mentors and mentees. During her opening speech, Sezin Ünlüdoğan, General Manager of Gelecek Varlık Yönetimi, said: “We continue to contribute to the Turkish economy with our role in reintegrating individuals and institutions into the economic system. By carrying this mission into the social sphere, we complement the economic value we create with social value. According to a study conducted under the Fiba Group’s ‘Remove the Burden’ project, women can become disconnected from professional life due to the one-sided burden of care responsibilities. As part of the solution, we say ‘Remove the Burden’ with our ‘Your Future’ project. Your Future will be a model of solidarity that reflects our 20 years of experience and mission.”

Reaching More Women Every Year

Emphasizing that the “Your Future” mentoring program is not only a social responsibility initiative but also a long-term journey that will inspire social transformation, Ünlüdoğan added: “This program, which we began with 20 women in its first year, will grow wave by wave in the coming years, reaching many more women. ‘Your Future,’ which contributes to gender equality, aims to encourage women’s re-participation in economic life while also strengthening internal leadership culture.” Within the program, 20 volunteer managers from various departments of Gelecek Varlık will be paired one-on-one with 20 women who paused their careers, guiding them in their professional development. Monthly mentoring meetings will provide opportunities not only for knowledge and experience sharing but also for mutual learning and growth.

“’Your Future’ Will Build a Shared Future Together”

YenidenBiz Association General Manager Tülay Cerit Tiryaki stated: “As YenidenBiz, in our 10th year, we continue our mission of supporting women who have taken a break from professional life to return to the economy and production. With the support of nearly 100 corporate members, we have reached over 20,000 women this year alone, and we take pride in creating a tangible impact on each of their journeys. Supporting women’s return to work is not only an individual gain but a strategic step that strengthens the future and sustainability of institutions. This program launched with Gelecek Varlık will make women’s potential more visible and remind the business world of the transformative power of inclusivity.

‘Your Future’ will be more than a model of inspiring solidarity— it will be a pathway to building a shared future together.”

“The Program Offers Mutual Development Opportunities”

Gaye Kaleağası, Human Resources and Corporate Communications Director of Gelecek Varlık Yönetimi, also shared insights about the project: “As Gelecek Varlık Yönetimi, we are pleased to elevate our brand with a corporate social responsibility project in our 20th year. We observe that each individual in our company contributes to this structure not only with their competencies but also with their values. In this direction, continuously improving employee experience, deepening leadership culture, and fostering an inclusive workplace are among our top priorities. The ‘Your Future’ mentoring program aligns perfectly with our core values of empathy, inclusivity, and collective learning. It offers a significant development opportunity not only for mentees but also for mentors, empowering their leadership skills. By unlocking individual potential, Your Future contributes meaningfully to the development of both the business world and society through the transformative power of corporate social responsibility.”
