The Founder
Aslihan Gedik, commonly called Asli among her peers, is the Founding Chairwoman and Chief Conservation Officer (CCO) of Wild at Life e.V..
During her nine-to-six hours, she works as an investment banker. With over two decades of experience, Asli uses her strong knowledge of banking and sustainable finance to tackle the problems threatening wildlife and biodiversity.
As an avid animal right activist, she has dedicated much of her life to protecting and rescuing abused, orphaned, and neglected animals. For example, she planned and conducted war-zone missions, most notably the abandoned zoo mission in Syria in the summer of 2017.
Additionally, Asli is a professionally trained natural disaster emergency responder and has overseen rescue missions for earthquakes, wildfires, and floods.
