Transforming Tajikistan
Embedded Files
Transforming Tajikistan would require big bets, creative strategy and impeccable execution towards a cohesive and compelling vision. Via the three different entities he founded, Aziz sought to deliver a national AI curriculum to create a deep talent pool, build a fintech unicorn that would jumpstart the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and ensure government policy supported a vibrant AI industry on the Silk Road. But, the path forward would be a long road with many obstacles.
Azimi’s teammates, allies and mentors were united in a vision for a transformed Tajikistan. Azimi’s own ambition for his country perfectly encapsulated the Stanford Graduate School of Business’ focus on developing leaders who are not afraid to take risks to make an impact. Whatever the future brought, Azimi knew he was right where he was supposed to be.
