By Cemil Özyurt - In this edition, we bring you a collection of fascinating stories, unlike anything you've read before. For 22 years, we have been on a thrilling journey, and with our New York Life & Beyond brand, we continue to connect with our readers with the same excitement. In this issue, you will discover stories of women who stand out with their achievements, entrepreneurs making waves, and extraordinary professionals who are reshaping their industries. Our cover story features Onur Şafak, a young entrepreneur who has quickly made a name for himself in New York with his Blue Meze brand. He recently opened his second restaurant in the historic New York Life building. We’ve dedicated this issue's cover to Onur, the new tenant of the building that houses the New York Life magazine. Other stories include Afa Zada, CEO of Palm Beach County-based Zada Advisors, who transitioned from a diplomatic career to visa consulting, and Hürrem Hammam & SPA, which brings a fresh take on the traditional Turkish bath style to Miami.

Onur Şafak, who had been investing in various sectors in Europe until 2008, moved to the United States, taking the first steps toward his future success story. His entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to take risks made him stand out as a Turkish entrepreneur in New York. Onur Şafak, Chairman of Maya Prestige Group, started his journey in the United States with the ice cream industry and combined this experience with many other ventures and business experiences. His strategic steps, along with his education and experience from Turkey and Europe, led him to establish Maya Prestige Group in 2024. After working for an export company in America for four years, Şafak ventured into his first entrepreneurial experience by opening an auto gallery. After eight years of education and knowledge acquisition, he entered a new industry: the food sector.
