The Journey of Disruption

mYngle mission is to disrupt the traditional world of education by providing high-quality, virtual language education at any time and any place.

When the company started, it was pioneering, amongst the first to provide one-to-one teaching of all languages over the internet. This meant that it had to bypass all sorts of resistances - those of a still immature market- especially the stereotypes that consumers had in their minds about education.Now, with COVID, all has changed, and the world is embracing online education. Soon it will become the norm, setting the standards in terms of quality and flexibility. The company noticed that before many did.

An Inspiring Leader

Marina Tognetti is the Founder and CEO of mYngle. According to Marina, in this era of challenging technologic evolution and more recently, COVID, challenging all the status quo, a proactive entrepreneur must redefine his/her role and draw on different sets of skills to be able to face the challenges ahead. Starting an innovative company meant that there was no set path Marina could follow. She had to learn and adapt along the way. This was true when the company started, but it is also true now, as it develops in an industry that is in transition.

This means that to be successful, Marina needs to have a strong vision, to set the direction, and anticipate and navigate challenges, but at the same time be flexible, able to adapt to keep the business successful. “I must not be afraid of taking (calculated) risks in order to anticipate trends and steer the company in turbulent waters,” says Marina.

Technologies Driving Digital Transformation

Even before COVID, the (language) training market was already in the transition from offline to online, the shift accelerating in the past years. This age of quarantines, social distancing, and remote working fast-tracked the trend, online education becoming in many cases the only possible way of learning.

Customers are now discovering all the advantages of virtual education compared to the traditional ones in a physical classroom. It offers the same results, but significantly more convenient in terms of flexibility- with lessons 24/7 and flexible scheduling - as well as the possibility of benefitting the skills of teachers that are not located in geographical proximity. These benefits go beyond the short-term limitations of the lockdown, modernizing the world of education.

That is where mYngle can make an impact, keeping ahead in this digital transformation by constantly innovating and pursuing the best possible quality and results, educating the market on the difference between improvised solutions and years of expertise. Online learning will be an intrinsic part of the new normal and mYngle a part of it.

Leveraging Disruptive Technologies

Marina believes technology should be seen as an opportunity, as it opens directions that only a few decades ago seemed unattainable. It allows new businesses that can disrupt entire industries. ‘CHANGE is GOOD’ as it forces improvements and continuous developments.

She says “Continuous improvement comes from constantly listening to users’ feedback and improving accordingly, as well as using new technologies to our advantage. Data analysis and machine learning help us triage new products better.It helps us understand clients and try to anticipate possible issues better. It also helps the sales department with forecasting, funnels analysis, and staff coaching.”

Innovative Traits of the Company

According to Marina, innovation needs to add real value as everything should start and end with the customer. In mYngle, the team nurtures an obsession for customer satisfaction and looks to continuously improve the company’s service. They do so by constantly listening to users’ feedback and adapting accordingly, as well as leveraging new technologies to their advantage. The company never compromised on quality, not for teachers and content, nor in the early adoption of audio/video-teaching via a virtual classroom, way before it became widely popular.

In order to achieve innovation, being agile is paramount. Throughout the past years, a lot has changed, in technology, needs of customers, economy, and now COVID. The company has been able to secure its position as one of the leaders in its segment by being diligent to build solid principles, work processes, and a team that has the capability and will to change and adapt according to its evolving surroundings.

Awards and Achievements

mYngle has won numerous awards as recognition for its contribution to online education: Accenture Innovation Award, European Ventures Summit Award, Benelux Venture Summit Award, and more were achieved later. Marina Tognetti, Founder and CEO of mYngle also received numerous awards, such as 50 Most Inspiring Women Tech Leaders in Europe, 50 Most Inspiring Women in the Dutch Technology Sector, Iconic Women Creating a Better World for All, and many others.

The best recognitions, however, are always those that come from customers. The company’s customers are extremely satisfied. Its average lessons’ scores are 4.9/5.0. And its first corporate client is still with them.

The Future Ahead

Marina believes that the integration of information technology in education will be further accelerated and online education will eventually become an integral component of education.

The company built on many years of experience and knows that migrating existing classroom training programs to digital is not just the mere application of existing technology solutions. Rather, it requires a more fundamental rethinking of the total learning experience, from trainers to content, to the blended form.

mYngle will keep on innovating and pursuing the best possible quality and results, educating also the market on the difference between improvised solutions and years of expertise so that it can stay ahead in this digital transformation.
