DERAS Globe was founded on a simple conviction: the most impactful consulting comes from having lived the challenges you advise on.

We work with food, beverage and consumer goods companies at critical inflection points — when they need to accelerate innovation, transform R&D capabilities, improve operational performance or make high-stakes technical decisions.

Our Principles
Senior-Level Engagement
Every engagement benefits from direct senior-level involvement, combining strategic perspective with hands-on technical expertise from diagnosis through execution.
Intellectual Honesty
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Our value lies in providing clear, objective assessments — even when uncomfortable.
Practical Outcomes
Strategy without execution is incomplete. We design recommendations that are implementable and stay engaged through delivery to ensure results.
Sector Depth
We focus exclusively on food, beverage and FMCG. This depth of sector knowledge means faster diagnosis, more relevant solutions and better outcomes.
Istanbul-Based. Globally Engaged.
Based in Istanbul — strategically positioned between European, Middle Eastern and Central Asian markets — DERAS Globe serves clients across Türkiye and internationally, bringing global perspective and local market understanding to every engagement.
