About Sevil

Product Manager | Project Manager | Scrum Master | Team Facilitator | Industrial Engineer

Everything around IT Management (Product, Org Dev, Training, Coaching), passionate about enabling teams and organizations to thrive in dynamic environments. I help teams engage in meaningful and constructive conversations to drive continuous improvement and deliver impactful business solutions.

At Netlight, I currently contribute to the AWS Partnership Program, leveraging cloud solutions to empower businesses and foster innovation. My role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to enable partnership.

As a master’s student in Management & Technology at TUM, I integrate technical expertise with strategic business insights to address challenges at the nexus of technology, sustainability, and innovation. Through TUM’s Entrepreneurial Masterclass and part of my master thesis I delve into circular business model innovation, reimagining sustainable practices in the fashion industry to drive impactful change and foster long-term value creation.

I thrive on challenges, whether it’s facilitating team agility, shaping product strategies, or delivering sustainable innovation. My global experiences, including Erasmus internships in Poland and Austria, studying in China, and participating in the Hult Prize Entrepreneurship Summit in Madrid, have shaped my open-minded, creative, and solution-oriented mindset.

A firm believer in lifelong learning, I write about agility, product management, productivity, sustainability, and personal growth on seviltopal.medium.com.
