Celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit.

Executive Team

Emir Aydin

President

Merhaba! This is Emir Aydin from Turkey. I am a U2 student majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Technological Entrepreneurship. I have been in the world of programming since elementary school, and I have created some award-winning projects. I also have my own projects that I’m still working on. My vision is to change the way people live, make it simpler. I always knew that I loved creating new things, and now that I’m aware of my fighter and rebel personality, I’m glad to be part of the MES. I think entrepreneurship is an ocean that has no shore; there is always something to learn. If you have an idea and a vision to share, I’m here! You can contact me through my website www.emiraydin.com or email:emir@mcgillentrepreneurs.com.
