Founder & CEO
Primerli
Hakan Unsal is the CEO and Founder of Primerli, an edtech company focused on making industry learning fast, engaging, and relevant—especially for students preparing to enter the workforce. Primerli partners with top universities and corporations to deliver interactive industry primers that help learners understand how industries work in one hour.
Before founding Primerli, Hakan worked in management consulting, where he saw firsthand how difficult it was—even for professionals—to get up to speed on unfamiliar sectors. That insight shaped Primerli’s mission: to close the gap between classroom learning and real-world career readiness by giving learners the context they need to make informed career decisions.
Hakan holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University and a Master's from Cornell University and has led Primerli to become a trusted resource for career services teams and business schools. He’s passionate about equipping students not just with skills, but with industry awareness—a crucial (and often missing) piece of career education.
