Mine Kalpakcıoglu

Luxury Panel Member

Mine Kalpakcıoglu's journey began in the USA, where she was born, before embarking on a nomadic upbringing across Washington DC, Brussels, London, Athens, and Paris. Her formative years were shaped by her father's diplomatic career, instilling in her the ability to adapt seamlessly to diverse environments.
Despite the constant flux of cities, schools, and friendships, Mine cultivated a talent for communication from an early age, advocating passionately for her homeland of Turkey to her international peers.

While initially pursuing a career in medicine at university, her innate passion for communication steered her towards a different path. Abandoning medical school, Mine pursued studies in communications and business in London, laying the foundation for her future endeavors.

Following her graduation, Mine honed her skills over several years in London before returning to Turkey, where she ascended the ranks from an account manager to Vice President at a top agency.

In 2002, Mine took the bold step of founding her own agency, T.I.M.E. PR, which quickly emerged as the preeminent PR firm in Istanbul. With 34 years of experience in the PR, Advertising, and Marketing industry, Mine Kalpakcıoglu has established herself as a trailblazer and leader in her field.
