About ODDA
ODDA è una società di consulenza IT che opera in modalità full-remote, con l’obiettivo di dimostrare a realtà aziendali nazionali e internazionali che il talento esiste e può essere ovunque. Attraverso un Hub di oltre 200 professionisti IT, offre servizi di consulenza informatica, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, AI e UX/UI Design, collaborando con più di 50 aziende tra partner, corporate e internazionali. L'azienda nasce da 6 soci nel 2016 come startup con un'app nel settore entertainment, raggiungendo i 50.000 utenti attivi nel 2018. Poi, nel 2020, complice la pandemia, il progetto si interrompe e si decide per un cambio di direzione: nasce ODDA di oggi, una realtà che ha adottato un modello di lavoro basato su flessibilità, inclusività e qualità, permettendo ai talenti di connettersi con grandi realtà oltrepassando i vincoli geografici. La crescita dell’azienda si è consolida nel 2023 quando è stato superato il milione di fatturato (+700% dal 2021). ODDA si pone l’obiettivo di espandere il proprio Hub a livello europeo, promuovendo un approccio al lavoro che valorizzi il talento e favorisca la condivisione della conoscenza, con un impatto positivo sul settore IT e sul mercato del lavoro. Ciò che distingue ODDA è l’approccio inverso alla consulenza IT: non cerca talenti per i clienti, ma progetti su misura per valorizzare al meglio le competenze dei consulenti. Crede che il successo derivi dall’incontro tra il giusto talento e il contesto ideale in cui esprimere al meglio il proprio valore.
