About Sami Eyidilli

Sami is a technologist, digital banker, and leader who has always been fascinated by how innovation can reshape the way we live. Born in Türkiye, he had a childhood filled with change, moving between cities across the country. Each new place brought new friendships and fresh perspectives, fostering his adaptability and lifelong love for discovery.

His professional journey began with a dream come true — earning his first paycheck by writing gaming reviews for magazines. Over time, his passion for writing expanded beyond gaming, leading him to explore topics like tech startups, investments, new ventures, and businesses. With nearly 3,000 published news articles, Sami has honed his skills and deepened his understanding of the digital world. He continues to share this knowledge through his blog and contributions to various magazines.

As his career evolved, he not only embraced the exciting and rewarding challenges of digital banking but also demonstrated strong leadership by spearheading innovative projects and mentoring others in the field. Sami thrives on fostering collaboration and driving meaningful change through visionary thinking and a results-oriented mindset. For him, digital banking represents the perfect combination of creativity, innovation, and impact, as it involves money and the economy — core elements that shape and influence our daily lives.

Beyond his career, Sami is someone who thrives on pushing limits — both his own and the planet's. Sailing has become a favorite pastime, offering freedom and the thrill of discovery. He is eager to embark on more expeditions, always chasing that sense of adventure. Flying is another passion of his, and after completing several discovery flights, he dreams of earning his Private Pilot License (PPL) one day. Until then, he enjoys flight simulation as a way to keep his love for aviation alive.

Photography is another creative outlet that allows him to capture the beauty of the world around him. Whether it's dramatic landscapes or quiet moments in nature, he finds joy in preserving these memories through his lens. He is also deeply interested in music-making, though he humorously admits that enthusiasm often outweighs talent in this area.

Learning has always been central to Sami's life. He holds an MBA degree from Izmir University of Economics and is currently working on his doctoral thesis as a student at the University of Portsmouth. A lifelong learner, he approaches every challenge as an opportunity to grow, believing that education is not just a process but a way of life.

Looking ahead, Sami aspires to share his knowledge and continue leading by example, creating meaningful learning experiences for others. One day, he hopes to transition into a role as an educator, inspiring the next generation with curiosity, innovation, and a passion for discovery.

Whether traveling, writing, photographing, or navigating new professional challenges, Sami is driven by a desire to experience life to its fullest. He believes life is about discovering what helps us grow and is always seeking the next adventure, the next project, or the next story to tell.
