Just got back from lunch with our three new product directors and I'm more excited than ever about the improvements they are dreaming up for the upcoming version of our learning platform.
Nicole Wilson, a PhD in Cognitive Psychology (Psycholinguistics) from the University of California, joins us from Pearson Knowledge Technologies and will carry the title of Academic Director at Open English. She's focused on applied psycholinguists with an expertise in language assessment, first- and second- language acquisition, bilingualism, and the relationship between language, thought, and action. (Try to say that 3 times quickly!)
To her right is James Daley, our new Director of Product. James comes to us after years of experience at Motorola and more recently as the CTO of a start-up in the adventure/travel segment. He's got a proven track record in operational and program management, as well as software development and IT operations.
To Nicole's left is Seth Travis who joins Open English as our Creative Director. Seth has been a brand ambassador, creative director, and key contributor to high performing marketing teams across diverse industries and functions; including GE's commercial leadership team and more recently as the E-Commerce and Brand Manager for RalphLauren.com.
As you can see in the below picture, they are already deep in thought! ;)
