Defence Turkey: First of all, thank you for sparing time for our readers. Can we start our interview with a brief summary of your personal journey with Microsoft Türkiye after leaving Ericsson in September 2020?  

Levent ÖZBİLGİN: After gaining 20 years of experience in the information technology and telco sectors, I transferred to Microsoft Türkiye as General Manager in 2020. Since then, I have been leading the Microsoft Türkiye team, which guides the digital transformation journeys of our customers, business partners, start-ups and software developers with Microsoft technologies. I can say that the only thing that was different for me in this position was to take office in the middle of the pandemic. It was a new experience for me and my colleagues to start working together without meeting anyone in person. However, in a company that produces technology to overcome the challenges brought by the pandemic, our job was not very difficult.
