CoBAC Team

I've been present in the tourism and hospitality industry since 2000. And upon discovering the joys of contributing to the happiness of others, especially for the past 15 years, Gökhan and I have been developing our own projects. Today, we live together with our just 24-day-old daughter Güneş, a colorful garden bursting with daisies and geraniums, and our cat Mişa who adopted us during her residency in our garden. 

For me, "being together" is...

...to find ways of rediscovering yourself, to be present and in a constant state of progress, the games we play as children, the feeling of being surrounded by loved ones as I'm walking by myself in a neighbourhood i like. 

CoBAC is the manifestation of our sincerity, knowledge and experience, a channel to enrich the lives of everyone we come in contact with, a living space we're very happy to be a part of.

To build a common ground for people of all backgrounds where they will come in contact with each other, physically, emotionally and creatively, just like the way tree branches grow and come together - this was our driving vision as we imagined CoBAC. And for the last 15 years, that is what we've been working on, with passion, compassion, persistance and faith...

For me, "being together" is...

...a cosy shelter on a rainy day, a sail in the middle of vast seas;
it is the art of existing like a forest surrounded by people as free as trees.

I'm Ezgi. I was born in January 26th, 1997 in Üsküdar. I graduated from Istanbul Aydın University with a degree in Gastronomy and Culinary Arts. I'm currently working as the Chef for CoBAC Casual Kitchen. I'm working to make sure our sense of responsibility and passionate nature is also apparent in all the kitchen's operations and the plates we cater.

For me, "being together" is...

...the opportunity to share courage, hope, freedom and hope. To grow together, to progress together, and to be each other's companion through this process. It is both the love and care but also the responsibility that goes into raising a child.

CoBAC is our home, our family, the focal point for our passions.

Hi I'm Halit Efe, and I currently work as Chef de Partie with the CoBAC Team. I work to reflect my energetic nature, my larger-than-life personality and my excitement to my culinary creations. 

For me, "being together" is...

...the feeling of "That's it!" when you're amongst people with different characters and backgrounds working together in harmony, creating good work and sharing the exciting over the work you all contributed to.

I was born in August 1992, in Istanbul. I was born to a family who work in trade and who, to my endless delight, have always supported me through my academic life. I've always been interested in numbers and accounting, since childhood. I crowned this interest with a degree in Business Management in 2015, and am on the final steps of becoming an official independent accountant and financial advisor. I'm currently in charge of accounting and purchase operations as part of the CoBAC Team.

For me, "being together" is...

...happiness, love and trust with no end.

I was born in June 1992 in Istanbul. I learned life through my work. I always aspire to be an innovator. What i enjoy is to share the satisfaction of having created something new with loved ones.

To me, "being together" is...

...the moment when people of all sorts genuinely consider how best to support one another, where ulterior motives are absent and everyone works in unity to be content.

I was born in 1981 in Istanbul. I'm married with two kids, and I've spent most of my life in Istanbul. My interest in technology goes all the way back to my childhood fascination with the atari. This interest lead me to pursue an education in technology. Currently, I work as an IT executive within the CoBAC Team.

To me, "being together" is...

...the natural result of healthy communication.

I'm Hamdiye Aslan. I was born in Batman and am living in Istanbul. I'm married with 4 kids. And I'm working as a main as part of the CoBAC Team.

To me, "being together" is...

...to leave your house happy every morning. To meet and communicate with new people at work, to make them smile and to share good feelings. 
Being together means solidarity, collaboration to overcome hardships as a team, to be solution-oriented when faced with a problem together, to feel that your team has your back. CoBAC is our happy, healthy peaceful space.
