About Zulfiya

It all started with a simple question: “There has to be a better way, right?”

Zulfiya began her career in accounting, spending countless hours buried in spreadsheets. The inefficiencies were frustrating, and she knew there had to be a smarter way. That curiosity led her to discover automation and data analytics, starting with Visual Basic and SQL. The first time she watched millions of data rows transform in seconds, she was hooked.

That passion pushed her to transition into the world of data, where she deep-dived into data analytics and automation. Fast forward to today, she is the CEO and Founder of Omadli Group, where they help businesses streamline operations, uncover valuable insights, and use AI to buy back their time. Additionally, she offers AI coaching to help individuals and organizations unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence in their work. Her mission is simple: turn complexity into simplicity and empower businesses to focus on what truly matters.
