Andela

Andela Andela is a global talent network that connects brilliance with opportunity around the world to create sustainable, high-performing technology teams.

Andela was created with one thing in mind; Brilliance is evenly distributed, but opportunity isn’t. Our platform bridges that gap. We specialize in helping our highly-skilled, global technology talent community in emerging markets, connect with hundreds of leading companies like InVision, Cloudflare, and ViacomCBS who leverage Andela to scale their technology teams quickly and cost-effectively. Our talent spans six continents and Andela is backed by investors including SoftBank, Whale Rock, Generation Investment Management, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Spark Capital, and Google Ventures.

Technology keeps changing, and there’s always something new to learn.

But with so many skills, tools, and trends competing for our attention, where should technologists focus their energy?

Meet Ayah Younes, Senior Accountant at Andela. “I help ensure our financial operations are accurate, efficient, and well-controlled so the business has reliable information to make informed decisions. I enjoy strengthening processes and internal controls, collaborating across teams, and finding opportunities to improve efficiency and support growth.”

“My favorite thing about working at Andela is the people and the strong sense of community. Everyone is supportive, collaborative, and genuinely invested in each other's success, making it a rewarding place to grow professionally while working alongside talented colleagues from around the world.”

Ayah joined Andela for the mission. “Growing up in Jordan and later building my career in the U.S., I've experienced firsthand how many talented professionals have the skills and potential to succeed but don't always have access to global opportunities. That's why Andela's mission immediately resonated with me. Being part of a company that connects exceptional talent with organizations around the world and helps create opportunities beyond borders is incredibly meaningful. It's rewarding to contribute to a mission that fosters innovation, growth, and collaboration on a global scale.”

“Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, staying active, and discovering new cultures and cuisines. I value experiences that challenge me, broaden my perspective, and create lasting memories.”

We asked Ayah to share two truths and a lie. Can you spot the lie?
✦ I've never broken a bone.
✦ I used to have a pet lamb.
✦ I speak three languages fluently.

What's the real relationship between tokens and AI credits?

Tokens and credits are two different units. While tokens are what the model reads and writes, credits are what ends up on your bill.

So what determines how many credits a request uses? Guil Hernandez has the answer on this week's "Token Talk."

In 15 years, will we look back at how we used AI and cringe?

Diana Wolfe, VP of AI Research and Strategy at Kyndryl, thinks we may look back on this time the way we look back on manual phone operator systems.

Companies that only adopt AI will end up in a trap of competing with every other company on price because everyone is using the same tools and workflows.

Instead, reimagine how you can utilize intelligence flow in your business to make real impact and avoid cringing at your past self.

Great teams can look different, work differently, and come from different places.
But some things stay the same.

What’s one thing that makes a great team, no matter where everyone is based?

Kenya’s tech community showed up!

From celebrating the finalists and winners of the QA Bug Hunt Challenge to sharing ideas, meeting fellow technologists, and enjoying some giveaways along the way, the Andela Bug Hunt Meetup, in partnership with OpenAI, was all about bringing the community together.

A big thank you to Kate Woska and Justin Odhiambo for their insight, and to everyone who joined us and made the evening one to remember!

Job titles routinely undercount what employees can actually do, especially in fast-moving technical roles.

In this episode, Cory Hymel, Head of Research at Andela, explores why mapping skills instead of roles gives leaders a far more accurate picture of workforce capability and AI readiness. The conversation covers how continuous skills assessment and learning keeps pace with a technical skill half-life that’s now down to two years.

Let’s get to know Emmanuel Manyonganise, Strategic Growth Lead - MEA, GTM at Andela. “I lead strategic growth for Andela through a consultative, insights-driven approach across the Middle East and Africa.”

His favorite thing about working at Andela? “The fast-paced, highly collaborative environment. When a client question or problem comes up, a solution is often just a Slack message away. The diversity and authenticity of the team lets me be myself, while we all bring the same energy, attitude and drive, plus we always root for each other.”

Emmanuel joined Andela because of the people. “I was drawn to the first few people I met at Andela. At different levels of the organisation, they were all incredibly smart, emotionally intelligent and egalitarian. That told me a lot about the culture and I couldn't ask for more.”

When he's not working, Emmanuel can often be found exploring new places and cultures. “Travel, travel, travel, everywhere and anywhere, that’s my hobby. I love meeting different people, experiencing new cultures and, perhaps most importantly, learning more about myself when I’m outside my comfort zone.”

We asked Emmanuel to share two truths and a lie. Can you spot the lie?
✦ I was a football captain at university
✦ My favorite food is seafood
✦ I am a recording artist
