Yigit works as a Sustainability Consultant on the Industries team at Metabolic. He believes that systems thinking, open communication, and co-creation play key roles in solving today’s complex challenges.

His interest in sustainability began in high school, where he wrote his thesis on the economic benefits and cooling effects of green roofs on urban heat islands in Aegean cities. This passion led him to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Global Project and Change Management, with an additional track in ecology. During his studies, he founded a startup that used locally sourced coffee grounds to grow fresh oyster mushrooms, creating circular collaborations with local restaurants and cafes.

Before joining the team, Yigit completed a traineeship at one of our knowledge partner institutes, working on a range of circular economy projects.

In his free time, you can find him going on long runs in nature or playing frisbee in the park with his brother.
