Merav Yuravlivker is the Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Data Society. With over ten years of experience in instructional design, training, and teaching, she started her career teaching elementary special education in NYC public schools through the Teach for America program. She went on to join the International Baccalaureate Organization, where she developed deep expertise in online training, assessments, and recruitment. She also taught as a Kaplan GRE instructor, where she ranked as one of their top 10% instructors based on student surveys. Merav found her passion for education and knew that she wanted to make an impact on an even larger scale. She recognized the importance of data literacy and began her data journey by learning how to program and design best practices for students during her free time. Six months later, she left her full-time job to focus on building Data Society along with her co-founders. Over the past seven years, she and her team have developed customized, industry-tailored data science training solutions that educate, equip and empower an organization’s workforce to achieve its goals and expand its impact.
