Marina Tognetti is founder and CEO of mYngle.com

Originally from Italy, Marina has lived and worked in different countries and while being there developed a passion for foreign languages and cultures. She currently lives in Amsterdam and speaks Italian, English, Dutch, French, Spanish and a bit of Mandarin.

After 18 year of successful corporate career at Procter & Gamble, Philips, BHP Billiton, Sara Lee, The Boston Consulting Group and eBay, she decided to become an entrepreneur and started mYngle.com in 2007.
Her drive besides languages and creating something from scratch, is to leverage the internet to change the traditional world of education from being supply-driven to being demand-drive.

mYngle is a pioneer in live online language education and has become a significant player in its segment. mYngle offers customized language training programs through video conferencing in 45
different languages to learners located anywhere in the world. mYngle was initially launched as a B2C marketplace, but was successfully turned into a high quality B2B school, serving some of the most prestigious brands in the world.
