Duygu Kazgın
Founded 19 May 2026
Duygu Kazgın is an economist; she was born in İzmir and graduated in Economics from Celal Bayar University. In Türkiye she worked in management, human resources, sales and marketing; in 2015 she settled in Germany. Today she works in Duisburg for an international logistics company and is completing her training as a freight forwarding and logistics clerk.
Over her years in Germany she saw that many people needed the same things: to widen their circle, to share what they had learned and to belong to a community. Out of that she founded Almanya Türk Ağı on 19 May 2026, and today she leads the community's direction, its projects and its gatherings.
