What makes a great company culture?
At Mavim, it's not a mission statement on a wall. It's the people who show up every day with curiosity, ambition, and a willingness to make a difference. Our culture is shaped by individuals who bring their unique experiences, perspectives, and talents to help us grow and who, in turn, grow alongside us.
In our You Make Mavim series, we spotlight the people behind our success. This edition features Gulbin Yuksek, who joined Mavim just over a year ago and has already become an important part of our team.
Gulbin's journey to Mavim wasn't a straight line and that's exactly what makes it inspiring.
"I started my career in finance and later gained extensive marketing experience at a global retail company. After deciding to move to the Netherlands, I took a break from my professional life to adjust to a new country and language."
Like many international professionals, she faced the challenge of rebuilding her career while adapting to a completely new environment.
"During this period, I decided to return to the finance field, feeling stronger and believing I could make more effective use of my education. That's when my path crossed with Mavim."
What started as a new career opportunity quickly became something much more meaningful.
For Gulbin, one of the most remarkable aspects of Mavim was the sense of belonging she felt from day one.
"From the moment I started at Mavim, the thing I have felt most is that this is more than just a workplace. Right from the start, it feels like a place where you truly belong, not a place where you feel like an outsider."
Creating an inclusive workplace is something we continuously strive for. We believe people perform at their best when they feel respected, valued, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work.
"Here, people are valued not only for the work they do, but also for who they are, their culture, and their strengths."
One of the defining characteristics of Mavim's culture is psychological safety—the freedom to experiment, contribute ideas, and learn through experience.
"It's a work culture where you can be yourself, share your ideas freely, and not be afraid of making mistakes because mistakes are not seen as failures but as an essential part of learning."
This mindset encourages innovation, collaboration, and continuous growth across every team and every role.
"This approach gives both confidence and courage."
As part of Mavim's finance team, Gulbin continues to expand her skills while working alongside colleagues who genuinely support one another.
"Working in finance, I continue to learn new things every day. But perhaps even more importantly, I know I have real support when I need it."
That support extends beyond professional development.
"This support strengthens me not just professionally, but personally as well."
At Mavim, we believe growth isn't just about advancing your career. It's about helping people become more confident, capable, and fulfilled versions of themselves.
When asked what Mavim means to her, Gulbin's answer perfectly captures what we're building together.
"Working at Mavim is not just a career step for me; it's a journey where I feel valued, safe, and truly part of something."
And for anyone considering joining our team, she has a simple message:
"Here, you are stepping into not just a job, but an environment that understands, supports, and helps you grow."
At Mavim, every idea matters. Every conversation creates momentum. Every person contributes to meaningful change.
As Gulbin puts it:
"You won't just be part of a company. You'll be part of a culture that empowers you to make an impact."
