Three New Directors Join Our Technology Team

I'm excited to welcome three new directors to our technology team!

 

Starting from right to left, we have Bruce Cowart, our Director of PMO, who is responsible for project management across all of our development efforts. Bruce is a PMP with vast experience at DHL Latin America and Verizon. After only a couple of months on the job, he's already got all the entire management team sleeping better at night knowing that he's on top of our IT  deliverables.  

Next to him is Patricio Rocca, who is joining us as our Director of Development after several senior IT leadership positions with Travelocity. Patricio is now responsibility for our newly minted technology team based out of Buenos Aires and that already has over 35 programmers reporting to him. 

Last but certainly not least,is Marcelo Coelho, who comes to us from FoxSports where he was their Information Technology Lead. Marcelo is taking on the role of Director of Systems and is responsible for our infrastructure and internal helpdesk. If the site is down, now you know who to call ;)

Welcome to the team guys!!

Here's a link to a full page spread on Open English in Chile's "Diario Financiero". Our brand is really taking off there! 

The Open English Brand in Chile

Marketing Hoy, Chile's recognized advertising magazine, published an insightful write up on the perception of our brand and our TV ads in Chile. Including an excerpt below (Full article)

"A pesar de que suelen ser hasta molestosas las publicidades internacionales, esta empresa ha logrado una buen balance, y mucho se debe a su ingenio para promocionar la opción que ofrecen ¿Cómo? Invirtiendo lo que suele suceder, y entreteniendo a la vez de posicionando.

Con casi 170 mil fans en Facebook y comentarios del estilo ‘’ Maravillosa herramienta, me sorprende como he avanzado con openEnglish :-) ‘’  dejados en la misma plataforma, y que paralelamente se resaltan en su página web, se puede apreciar que no han fracasado ni un poco."
