Building Learning Ecosystems That Create Business Impact
Founded on a simple belief: learning should drive results, not just activity.
Our Story
EdBridge exists to solve a trillion-dollar problem: the gap between learning investment and business impact.
We started with a bold belief?that the issue wasn't content quality or budget, but how learning systems were designed. Organizations needed ecosystems, not isolated programs. They needed learning that closed performance gaps, not just filled seats. Development that strengthened leadership pipelines, not just checked compliance boxes. Initiatives that transformed culture and retention, not just tracked completion rates.
EdBridge consultants are practitioner-scholars, combining Ivy League academic credentials with extensive enterprise experience. We don't theorize about learning ecosystems; we've built them. We don't study organizational transformation; we've led it. Our team bridges the gap between scholarly research and real-world impact, ensuring every recommendation is both evidence-based and battle-tested.
That belief has been validated across 180+ enterprise clients, 1,500+ learning ecosystems, and three continents. We've helped organizations close critical leadership gaps, transform cultures, and prove that learning can deliver measurable ROI.
The market validated what we knew: there was a better way. And we built it.
Gwen Mdinaradze
Founder & CEO | Chief Learning Architect
I founded EdBridge after seeing the same pattern across dozens of organizations: massive investment in learning and development, minimal business impact.
The problem wasn't effort. It wasn't budget. It was approach.
Organizations were building programs in isolation?disconnected from strategy, divorced from culture, measured by the wrong metrics. Completion rates instead of capability. Activity instead of outcomes. One-size-fits-all programs instead of customized learning experiences grounded in andragogy?where we understand that every learner develops differently.
After spending years leading learning transformations and studying what actually creates business impact, I knew there was a better way.
EdBridge was built to bridge the gap between learning and performance. To design ecosystems, not programs. To measure outcomes, not outputs. To create sustainable impact, not temporary fixes.
Today, we partner with forward-thinking organizations?from mid-market enterprises to Fortune 1000 companies?to build learning ecosystems that close leadership gaps, strengthen culture, and drive measurable business performance.
The work is challenging. The impact is real. And the organizations we serve are seeing results that transform how they think about learning and development.

Our Values
Impact Over Activity
We measure success by business results, not program completion rates. Every engagement is designed to move the needle on what matters most to your organization.
Partnership Over Prescription
We embed with clients to co-create solutions, not sell one-size-fits-all packages. Your challenges are unique, and your solutions should be too.
Evidence Over Intuition
Data, research, and rigorous measurement inform every recommendation. We believe in the scientific method applied to learning and development.
Sustainability Over Dependence
We build client capability so impact continues long after our engagement. Success means you don't need us forever.
Excellence Over Ego
The work speaks for itself. Results matter more than recognition. We're here to make you successful, not to take the spotlight.
Courage Over Comfort
We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Real transformation requires honest conversations.
