Empowering Tech Leaders: A Journey into Innovation and Collaboration
Written on
Introduction to My Substack Journey
Welcome to my new venture on Substack, where I am excited to share insights on technology excellence and leadership. As the chief editor of this platform, owned by ILLUMINATION-Curators, I am thrilled to connect with fellow writers and readers.
I’m writing this from my secondary account, Dr. Mehmet Yildiz (Tech), which is focused on technology-related topics. My main account on Medium has attracted a diverse audience primarily from health and science sectors. In this post, I aim to introduce my newsletter, Technology Excellence and Leadership, which is dedicated to empowering technology leaders, entrepreneurs, and business professionals through shared knowledge and collaboration.
With nearly 50 years of experience in the Information Technology sector, I aim to leverage this platform to offer valuable insights, tutorials, and thought-provoking articles rooted in both practical experience and academic knowledge.
A Vision for a Collaborative Future
In my mission to support creators, freelancers, and entrepreneurs, I’ve outlined a draft plan for a charity organization that operates with business-like efficiency.
