Luffa Product Head Esra Ozturk to Address Digital Empowerment at Women in Web3 Gala
Luffa's Head of Product Esra Ozturk will speak at the Women in Web3 Gala 2025 about how emerging technologies are transforming ownership and creativity in the digital economy.
Luffa, the decentralized messaging platform, announced that its Head of Product Esra Ozturk will be a featured speaker at the Women in Web3 Gala 2025: An Evening of Innovation and Impact. The event, hosted by the Global CSR Foundation aboard a luxury yacht in Marina del Rey, California on November 8, 2025, brings together visionaries and industry leaders to discuss the future of digital technologies.
Ozturk will participate in the panel "The Future of Digital Empowerment: Web 3, AI and Ownership Economy" scheduled for 7:10 pm during the gala. The discussion will examine how emerging technologies are rewriting the rules of ownership, creativity, and opportunity, with a focus on how women are leading the development of a more inclusive, values-driven digital world. "We're at a turning point where creativity, ownership, and identity are no longer defined by platforms - they're defined by people," said Ozturk. "At Luffa, we're building the infrastructure that allows fans, creators, and brands to own their relationships and value directly. It's not just about technology - it's about restoring humanity to the digital economy."
Since joining Luffa earlier this year, Ozturk has been leading the company's product vision and strategy, developing decentralized tools that power authentic connection and collaboration across culture, entertainment, and commerce. With a decade of experience driving product innovation at the intersection of behavior, technology, and community, including previous roles at Uber, Meta, and Zillow, Ozturk brings significant expertise to the discussion of technology that serves people rather than platforms.
Yu Xiong, Founding Advisor at Luffa, emphasized Ozturk's unique qualifications for addressing the future of digital empowerment. "Esra brings the rare ability to fuse technical depth with cultural insight," said Xiong. "Her leadership reflects our core belief that technology should amplify creativity and human connection, not replace it."
