Baturay Özden

About

I've spent twenty years learning why people decide, how to measure it, and how to build it into machines.

In short
  • Baturay Özden is a London-based founder and director of five companies across the UK and Türkiye.
  • He founded B4Mind (2014, London since 2016) and Etna Healthcare Solutions, advises the FelixMed wellness brand, and is UK director of two CQC-regulated dental companies and of Homeart Construction & Real Estate.
  • He holds an MSc in Psychology and a BSc in Economics, and builds AI-run systems designed to work without their founder.

I grew up in Türkiye, studied economics and then psychology, and went to work in the gap between the two: how brands persuade, and whether anyone can prove it. That led to an agency, the agency led to London, London led to running regulated companies for other people, and running them led to software that could do the parts no one should be doing by hand.

Today I'm a director of five companies across the UK and Türkiye, two of them regulated by the CQC, and the founder of a portfolio of AI-run products in healthcare, legal and property. Along the way I added executive education in leadership and management at the London School of Economics, digital marketing at UCLA and neuromarketing at the Sorbonne. Every system I build is designed to work without me.

West London. Food from anywhere I haven't tried yet. The systems exist so that this part of the week stays mine.

The long version is in the essay. The short version is a call.
