Silicon Valley Talent Guru Steve Cadigan Leads Launch of New ISDI Digital University

  MENLO PARK, CA - 02/21/2017 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

Steve Cadigan, accomplished Talent Executive and Founder of Silicon Valley-based Cadigan Talent Ventures, announced today he has taken his passion and commitment to talent development a step further by co-founding Silicon Valley’s new ISDI Digital University. ISDI will offer a Master’s Degree in Internet Business (MIB) starting this Spring. The first of its kind in the United States, the MIB will be delivered to students by some of Silicon Valley’s top tech and business leaders.

“As a talent leader in Silicon Valley, I can attest to the great shortage of digital professionals as well as the increasing number of professionals in all areas who are feeling that the digital economy is passing them by. ISDI Digital University was created to solve this problem. I am delighted to bring a solution to the table that will prepare the next generation of digital leaders in a practical and real world educational setting,” said Steve.

Since founding CTV, Steve has been an advisor to numerous private and public sector entities, including Twitter, Google, Andreesen Horowitz and GoPro in the United States and abroad. Perhaps most importantly, he is a gifted mentor and connector. “Steve truly has a passion for engaging with students and colleagues that wish to pursue digital careers. While at LinkedIn, Steve led the organization to grow from 400 to 5,000 employees, and compete with today’s elite technology companies. We are confident he will relay to students the strategies behind growth, and his passion will help,” said Nacho de Piñedo, Founder of ISDI Spain.
