Sergi Abashidze

Sergi Abashidze, originally from Georgia, has always been interested in finance, numbers, and programming. At a young age, he started exploring this interest by reading books and articles related to today’s financial news. When the time came to go to university, Sergi began looking at a few institutions before finally choosing IE University. He credits this decision to the fact that very few universities offered such a future-forward degree. Now, as Sergi embarks on his second year here, he’s confident he made the right choice and believes there’s no place he’d rather be.

Moving to Spain was no easy task for Sergi. He had to adapt to a whole new culture and environment, manage his finances and health, and learn how to organize his time—tasks he never had to worry about at home. It took him a while to settle in, but now he feels right at home. He attributes this to IE University’s inspiring and welcoming environment, his super friendly and diverse peers, and the bachelor’s engaging course content. 

Now a soon-to-be qualified data scientist, Sergi is confident in his ability to achieve his professional goals. Looking to the future, he hopes to combine his passion for data science and finance in a career in telecommunications.
