Finance Manager

About Academy of the Digital Industries

ADI was born out of a simple need: we couldn’t find enough professionals with the right digital skills, so we decided to train them ourselves. 

What started in 2018 as a grassroots initiative in Tbilisi has evolved into a global Edtech platform with over 30,000 alumni. 

Our programs are built by experts, designed around real world demands, and delivered in an environment of collaboration, curiosity, and growth.

In 2023, we partnered with Tether to take our mission global, expanding access to practical, career-boosting education for learners everywhere. Today, we’re building the next generation of digital professionals: marketers, designers, coders, and creators who don’t just want a job, they want to make an impact. 

We’re guided by values we truly live by: putting people first, staying curious, doing excellent work, and taking ownership. 

And we’re just getting started.
