Filiz co-founded and co-chairs Xaxis UK’s Rise Women Network with a mission statement that aims to create networking opportunities for Xaxis Women. There has been an enormous response and enthusiasm for Rise amongst women in Xaxis. After getting their feedback, Filiz and her team put together a plan on the most burning topics such as financial advice, salary negotiation, Imposter Syndrome, returning from Maternity leave and more. Whilst there are a growing number of women in leadership at Xaxis, Filiz plans to continue strengthening Rise with a vision one day to make it a fully inclusive workplace where women have equal opportunities. Outside of work, she is very active in human rights, including supporting several charities such as Nadia’s Initiative, which works to rehabilitate the Yezidi community in Iraq.
