Can you tell us about your role at the Datategy, and what kind of projects or initiatives you have been working on during your internship?
As the CEO’s Assistant at Datategy, my primary responsibility is to lead the execution of the 2024 fundraising campaign, with a specific goal of engaging European and American investors. This mission holds great value as it not only allows me to directly contribute to the company’s growth and expansion but also provides me with a unique opportunity to strengthen Datategy’s global presence.
How has the Datategy teams help you to develop your skills and competencies in the data industry, and what have you learned during your time in the program?
My experience at Datategy has been exceptionally rewarding. I’ve worked closely with data scientists, gaining a deeper understanding of their roles and data analysis intricacies. Directly collaborating with the CEO has provided insights into running a data science company effectively. Moreover, the collaborative environment at Datategy has improved my communication and teamwork skills, particularly in conveying data insights to non-technical stakeholders. These skills have significantly contributed to my professional growth.
What kind of mentorship and support have you received during your internship, and how has this helped you to navigate your first professional experience?
The Datategy team has been incredibly supportive, ensuring that I’m not just a passive observer but an active contributor to meaningful projects. My direct supervisor Dounia and colleagues have been approachable and readily available to answer my questions, provide guidance, and offer constructive feedback.
How has the Datategy Early Careers Program fostered a sense of initiative and team spirit among its participants, and what values do you think are important for success in the data industry?
The freedom provided within the program has encouraged me to take initiative, while also nurturing a collaborative environment. Asking questions and learning from my colleagues has been essential to my growth. I think that in the data industry, accuracy, ethics, adaptability, communication, and problem-solving are essential values for success.
Can you share any challenges or obstacles that you have faced during your internship, and how you have overcome them with the support of Datategy teams?
During my Datategy internship, a challenge I faced was the predominantly French-speaking team. However, they all speak English fluently and ensure I’m part of discussions by frequently switching to English when I’m present. Datategy’s diverse team from various countries has created an inclusive and enriching atmosphere, emphasizing the global and inclusive nature of the data industry.
What do you hope to achieve during your time at the Datategy, and how do you see this experience helping you to achieve your long- term career goals in the data industry?
One of the main goal was to understand the overall working of the fast growing startup and be comfortable with uncertainty that the rapid growth phase brings. During my time here I have been able to understand the data industry, especially in finance, and improve my analytical and financial skills. I also aim to build a professional network with experienced experts in the field.
