Goktug Ozturk is a seasoned engineering leader with 14 years of experience building and scaling SaaS and high-traffic e-commerce platforms, currently serving as VP of Engineering for Webex Events at Cisco. He combines hands-on backend engineering (Ruby on Rails, Go, NodeJS, PHP) with product-focused leadership, having led teams through acquisition and global event platform growth. As a co-founder of a bespoke e-commerce SaaS, he architected integrations across ERP, marketplaces and fulfillment systems, showing deep expertise in data flow and systems integration. His career spans startups and large enterprises, driving roadmaps, DevOps, and cross-functional collaboration for clients including Microsoft and Google. Based in Istanbul, he pairs pragmatic engineering with strategic product thinking and a track record of turning complex ecosystems into reliable, production-grade services. A less obvious strength is his sustained dual role as both hands-on builder and organizer—continuing to run his e-commerce venture while leading a major event platform at Cisco.
