I am the CEO and Co-founder of FabuLingua - a powerful new approach to language learning for children. FabuLingua is a game-based platform that helps teachers teach and kids learn a second language through interactive stories. It's based on our science-backed patent that helps kids acquire new languages naturally and subconsciously.Learning a new language opens doors in life. Our mission is to give children the unique advantage of learning a new language effectively.FabuLingua unleashes a child's natural ability to learn languages. Our deep understanding of the science behind second language acquisition and what motivates children to learn a new language informs the design of our innovative pedagogy to spark a child's love for learning languages.Traditional early language learning methods have struggled to be effective and scalable, relying on outdated teaching methods - such as memorization and repetitive drills designed to pass exams - that quickly lead to disengagement and frustration among students.Neuroscience research has shown that the earliest stages of language learning are critical for long-term success, and as our world becomes increasingly interconnected, it is more important than ever to cultivate global digital citizenship. Part of this responsibility includes embracing the power of language and communication to bridge cultural divides and learn to collaborate.FabuLingua has designed an innovative, science-backed approach that focuses on making language learning fun and interactive, using game design and stories to help teachers, tutors, and families engage children and keep them motivated.By tapping into a child's natural curiosity and sense of play, this approach can create a positive association with language learning that can last a lifetime.Before FabuLingua, I have been a start-up to public company operations and finance executive specializing in early and growth stage challenges - business model definition, capital raising, go-to-market strategy, partnership/business development, and corporate transactions. I have led the growth and maturation of investor-backed companies in the technology, energy, and consumer sectors, raising $100 million + in angel, venture, and public equity for 3 companies. I have worked with private and public company executive teams, boards, and investors. I have a BA from Harvard and serve on the Board of start-up, coop, and non-profit organizations. I am fortunate to spend most of my time with my family of four, around interesting/fun/inspiring friends, and enjoying outdoors/sports/travel.
