Dr. Asli Zulug, CEO, Guru Saglikli Gida Sanayi Limited Sirketi, www.pachacips.com

Dr. Zulug holds a Phd and has both a business and food engineering background.  After working in food safety, she created a functional food for people needing extra collagen to help heal their bones and strengthen them in general.  Her company is the producer of PACHA, the world’s first and unique natural collagen and protein chips. She developed the brand in her laboratory at Ozyegin University and worked with the Ozyegin University Gastronomy and Culinary Arts department, which inspired her to produce a source of collagen not only in a very natural and practical, but also a very delicious form of food.

The company does business in Turkey and the US and wishes to expand to Europe, the MENA region, the far East and Australia.
