Marina Tognetti

Marina Tognetti (born 14 November 1964) is an entrepreneur and business executive based in Amsterdam. In 2007, she launched Myngle, an online language learning service of which she is CEO.[1][2]

Tognetti studied at the Luiss Guido Carli University in Rome, graduating in 1987, after which she earned an MBA in 1992 at INSEAD in Fontainbleau, France.[2] After gaining business experience with Procter & Gamble, Philips, Sara Lee and eBay, in 2007 she founded Myngle.[1][3] She was inspired to open a facility for language learning when she was having difficulty with learning Chinese herself. She concluded that language learning would be much easier if people could learn languages as if they were living in the country where the language was spoken benefiting from native teachers through internet connections.[4] Her startup was able to expand with funding first from HenQ and then from Rabobank in 2009.[1]
