Özlenen Müge Cebeci

Müge Cebeci facilitates peer groups for HR and leadership professionals – spanning Talent Management, Total Rewards, Talent Acquisition, and Women in Leadership. She brings both the rigour of a global corporate career and the human depth of a certified coach to every meeting she runs.

Müge says:

My background is in Business and Human Resources Management, with a minor in Social Sciences – and I’ve spent a large part of my career in senior European and global roles, including Head of Talent Management for global commercial and clusters, and Head of Talent Management, Acquisition and Development for Europe. Today I run my own practice, Vita Synergia Coaching. That combination – corporate experience at scale and coaching expertise – means I can meet members where they are. When someone brings a challenge to the table, I know the terrain. I push the thinking further by asking questions like “How can your peers help you solve this?” and by guiding the group through a structured process to work through problems together.

Walk into one of my peer group meetings and you’ll find something that is both professional and warm – structured enough to get things done, but informal enough that everyone feels genuinely welcome. I believe every voice around the table matters, so I actively engage each person to make sure no one stays silent. Confidentiality is something I come back to regularly – reminding the group that this is a safe space where people can speak freely and honestly. With new groups, I work with members to co-create their own ground rules from day one, so the commitment to openness comes from them, not from me.

When the network makes a difference

I was an EGN member myself during my corporate years, and I felt firsthand what it means to have a group of peers who truly challenge and support you. When I founded Vita Synergia Coaching, becoming a Chair felt like a natural way to stay part of that world – this time from a different seat. The moments that stay with me are the ones where we work through a real challenge together as a group, and at the end of it, not only does the person who brought the issue leave with clear actions – but others around the table are quietly scribbling down their own takeaways. You can almost feel the energy shift in the room. That feeling of “I have a plan” – that’s exactly why I do this.
