Sarah Chhatlani

Sarah Chhatlani

Founding Partner – CEO

Before founding Snacked & Packed, Sarah owned and directed a well-established financial services recruitment firm operating across both the UK and Dubai. From a young age she had a passion for food, and always knew she would eventually pursue a career in the industry.

After relocating to Dubai in 2022 with her son, Sarah became increasingly aware of the ingredients used in many everyday convenience snacks. Inspired to create healthier alternatives, she began making her own snacks at home — often involving her son in the process — an experience that further fuelled her passion for wholesome, high-quality, lunchbox-friendly food.

While her son was in his second year of school in 2025, Sarah took on the role of class representative and became increasingly aware of parents' concerns around school meals, and of how hard it was to source healthy, nutritious, nut-free options suitable for lunchboxes. In a true lightbulb moment, the idea for Snacked & Packed was born — a brand dedicated to convenient, nutritious, family-friendly food that parents can trust.

Gemma Macklin

Founding Partner – Head of Nutrition & COO

Before moving into nutrition, Gemma worked in London's financial sector as a Trading Assistant and in back-office support for equity options traders, while also building experience as a qualified gym instructor and personal trainer. Her career has always been rooted in health, wellbeing and performance — which led her to follow that passion further and qualify as a nutritionist.

She now holds a BSc (Hons) in Human Nutrition from the University of Westminster, London, and combines evidence-based nutrition with practical, family-friendly food solutions. A mum of three, Gemma's mission is to make healthy eating simple, enjoyable and accessible for children — through fresh, balanced packed lunches designed to support concentration, development and lifelong healthy habits.

Having recently relocated to Dubai with her family, she is now bringing her passion for children's nutrition and healthy eating to the UAE.
