Politowski attended Oxford University / Somerville College from 1996, receiving a Master of Engineering in 2000 (First Class). Staying on at University of Oxford (St. Peter's College), he obtained his second Master's aged 23 - a Master of Philosophy in Economics in 2002.
Politowski married fellow producer Nadia Khamlichi. Together with his ex-wife, they have one son, born 2012. Adrian is currently with Swedish model/influencer Amanda Gyllensparv. He "currently splits his time between Los Angeles, Brussels and Stockholm".
Politowski and his partners Nadia Khamlichi (his ex-wife) and Jeremy Burdek founded Motion Investment Group in 2004 in Brussels, Belgium. In 2010, the group rebranded as Umedia (formerly stylized uMedia), with business divisions of "uFund (fundraising), uFilm (production and investment), uDream (distribution) and uFX (visual effects)."
In 2019, Politowski and Khamlichi co-founded and launched the production company Align Pictures, resigned as CEO and sold his remaining stake in Umedia in 2020.
At his departure from Umedia, the group had grown into a $100M+ turnover international production group with 200 staff. From 2004 onto 2020, it had raised and financed over $630M, produced over 400films and its VFX division has grown into the largest in Benelux. ...
