As an executive assistant at Apziva, I am privileged to be part of a team that fills me with immense joy and satisfaction, primarily because of our exceptional team and the profound purpose that defines our work. At Apziva, our mission is clear: we empower individuals to realize their dreams of entering the world of data science, a journey filled with incredible stories of transformation, where we often find ourselves not just changing lives but saving them.

Allow me to introduce you to Apziva, a company established in 2019 by Semih Yağcıoğlu, our CEO with a strong vision. Since our inception, we have encountered numerous challenges, not least of which was the relentless impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The path we’ve walked hasn’t been easy, marked by countless sleepless nights and relentless hard work. However, despite these obstacles, we have persevered, and today, we are living our dream of making a significant impact in the world of data science.

One thing that deeply resonates with me, and all of us at Apziva, is the belief that it is unjust for brilliant individuals to be held back from achieving their career aspirations due to a lack of experience. Our CEO, Semih Yağcıoğlu, has a mission — a mission to challenge this very system, and Apziva was born to fulfill that mission. Our purpose is clear: to solve the world’s experience gap and unlock human potential.

At Apziva, we recognize the immense talent that often goes untapped simply because aspiring data scientists lack experience. To address this issue, we have developed a unique approach. We provide professionals with the opportunity to gain hands-on industry experience by working on real projects, all while benefiting from the guidance of industry experts who serve as mentors. This approach not only equips our participants with practical skills but also instills in them the confidence to pursue their dream roles in machine learning and data science.

What truly sets Apziva apart is the profound impact we make in the lives of individuals. We have witnessed incredible stories of transformation — individuals who have transcended their limitations and achieved what once seemed impossible. Through our unique program, we have not only changed careers but, in many cases, changed lives. The impact is real and tangible, and it drives us to do more every day.

In conclusion, Apziva is more than a company to me; it is a purpose, a mission, and a journey of personal and professional growth. Under the visionary leadership of Semih Yağcıoğlu and alongside a dedicated team, I am proud to be part of an organization that is transforming the lives of individuals and reshaping the landscape of data science. With our mission to bridge the experience gap and unlock human potential, Apziva continues to inspire and uplift, one dream job at a time, and I am honored to be a part of this remarkable journey.
