Product Operations Lead at Commercetools
Hello, I am Aybala 👋
It is great to meet you!
I am currently working as Product Operations Lead at commercetools. Along the way, I’ve had the pleasure to work with companies of various industries and sizes both in Berlin and Istanbul such as Siemens Healthineers, Inveon, Garanti BBVA, idealo and Delivery Hero.
With my background in Mathematics and Design Thinking I love bringing analytical thinking and human centricity together.
Having started my career in Sales, with the passion to solve customer problems and develop products that both create the best experience for the users and the best outcomes for business, I transitioned into Product Management over the years.
I have always been a natural collaborator, communicator and facilitator by heart who is passionate about enabling and empowering product teams to create the high impact outcomes. So although it hasn’t always been called the way it is today, I’ve been informally doing Product Operations for the majority of my career.
On a more personal note; I am a tea person, love traveling and immersing myself in new cultures and cuisines, and find walking as a great way to free up my mind and body.
Thanks a lot for making it till the end. Looking forward to getting to know you soon!
“Aybala's story resonates with me, and that's why I feel connected with her. She ran patiently through her experience to understand the situation I faced. Empathy is truly the quality of the mentor she had.”
“I feel so energized and enlightened after my first session Aybala! I've just moved into a new Product Ops role after years in Product Management and she was helping me navigate how to implement Product Ops at my company. She took the time to give me real life examples of her challenges and was so friendly! I am happy to say I will lean on her as often as I can - she is a wealth of resources.”
“I had a 30 minutes session with Aybala. She has given me many recommendations and resources on how to approach product interviews, case studies, and the application process for the PM role. A very complete mentoring.”
