Jobbatical brings digital talent to a global setting

Karoli Hindriks, an Estonian entrepreneur, was vacationing in Malaysia when inspiration struck - the beautiful holiday island spurned ideas of a startup focused on spreading digital talent across the world: Jobbatical.

Having hit a number of achievements in the business world at a young age, Estonian Karoli Hindriks is widely known as a successful entrepreneur in the tiny Baltic nation of 1.3 million people.

At 16, she became the youngest inventor in Estonia with a registered patent after transforming a school fashion project (a pedestrian reflector) into a successful business.

At 24, Hindriks spearheaded MTV’s expansion into Estonia, becoming the network’s youngest national CEO. She tripled the network’s sales in the country within two years.

By 26, she founded a media sales agency, working with Fox International, helping to launch six Fox channels in the region.
