Masraff CEO Begül Eray Sezgin has been selected for the sixth time to Fast Company's Female Founders 100 List for 2026.
This recognition confirms her continued place among the women leaders growing and directing their companies across different sectors.
Fast Company's Female Founders 100 List
Fast Company's Female Founders 100 List, published annually, is an editorial selection that highlights women leaders who have founded and lead companies across different sectors.
The selection process is carried out by Fast Company's editors, taking into account the companies led by the founders, their growth trajectories, and their impact on the sectors in which they operate.
The evaluation is not based on financial performance or scale alone; it also considers the progress of the business and the founder's leadership position within the sector.
At the same time, the list offers a broader perspective on how women entrepreneurs operating in different markets are growing their companies.
Six Years of Continuity in the Fast Company Selection
Begül Eray Sezgin's sixth appearance on the Female Founders 100 List as of 2026 points to a continuity spanning years, rather than a one-time achievement.
Her presence on lists published in different years is a concrete and sustained reflection of her ongoing visibility and leadership influence within the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Within this editorial selection, prepared independently each year, repeated inclusion is the clearest indicator that the founder and the company continue to maintain their relevance and influence in a constantly changing business environment.
In this context, this kind of continuity reflects, for Masraff's leadership, not a single achievement tied to one period, but an ongoing company-building process sustained across different stages of growth.
Looking Ahead: Masraff's Vision and Mission
This development is a strategic validation that adds momentum to Masraff's strategy for structuring financial processes at large-scale organizations.
On our journey to eliminate the fragmented structure in corporate travel, expense, and spend management, we see this achievement as a strong foundation for our future goals.
"Being included in Fast Company's Female Founders 100 List for the sixth time is meaningful from many perspectives.
It reflects not only Masraff's journey to date, but also the growing presence of women in entrepreneurship and technology.
Continuity in this field matters, because it shows that women leaders continue to build companies that grow over time and shape their sectors."
