About me

My name is Ozan YAĞCI. I was born on October 6, 1975 in Mardin.

 

Then we moved to Iskenderun. I spent my childhood in Iskenderun until high school. I experienced all the advantages and disadvantages of growing up in a small town on the south coast.

​

I spent 15 years in Iskenderun, full of good friendships and experiences.

 

After graduating from high school at Koç Private High School in Istanbul, I studied Mathematics Engineering at ITU, and then did an Executive MBA on “E-Business” (as it was called at the time) at Yeditepe University.

 

I have 2 children named Tuna and Ali.

 

I play music whenever my time allows. MARAWe have a group called  . In March 2017, we released our 2nd album named “This Life is Yours” from our own record label . From hereYou can listen to  .

​

My first professional work experience was Koçbank.

 

I started as a "Business Analyst" in IT. Writing code was not for me. When I wanted to be in IT, not writing code, and interacting with different people & departments, I came across a business analyst position.

​

I was doing a job that I wanted and loved.

 

I was working hard but I was very happy. We were learning something new every day and achieving something new as a team.

 

Connecting to the Internet with Dial Up modems, Gopher service, Netscape, Altavista, MIRC, ICQ era and the Dot.com bubble, I was constantly following the developments related to the Internet and researching how to improve banking services.

 

E-commerce was also new in America at that time. It wasn't even in its infancy with us. A few mixed catalog sites such as Webdenal and Estore.com.tr acted as engines, while there were some minor players.

 

I also wanted to try e-commerce. I had no money to invest, except for the limit on my credit card. Influenced by trends and startups in America, I decided to sell fresh flowers online by meeting with the florist on the corner of my house. My first venture was called "chicheck.com".

​
