With over 10 years of experience in chemistry, maritime transportation, and biotechnology, I am a passionate entrepreneur dedicated to addressing global challenges through microbial innovations. I co-founded Fermescent Biotechnology, a biotechnology and R&D company based in İzmir Teknopark, supported by the Tübitak BİGG 1512 program. At Fermescent, we leverage microbes as cell factories to produce sustainable aroma chemicals and pharmaceuticals.As the co-founder and CEO, I lead the company’s strategic vision, business development, and team management. I apply my experience in container shipping, sales, and import/export operations to build partnerships with local and international stakeholders, secure funding, and manage logistics and supply chain activities. Additionally, my expertise in biosynthesis, fermentation, and biocatalysis drives the design and optimization of our production processes, ensuring high-quality products and innovation through R&D. Through my leadership, we secured the prestigious Tübitak BİGG 1512 grant, enabling us to scale our operations and expand into new markets.
