Emmanuel Orssaud (Duolingo) | April Fool's Day Measured in Smiles

Happy April Fools! To celebrate the spirit of first day of April, Jim welcomes to the show one of Duo the Owl’s best friends, Emmanuel Orssaud, the Chief Marketing Officer of Duolingo, one of the hottest growth brands in the world with one of the hottest mascots in the world. Duolingo is the most downloaded education app in the history of the App Store and in 2019 became the top-grossing education app worldwide.

Duolingo’s purpose is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available; its core service today is in language learning. Duolingo is only a 14-year old brand, founded in Pittsburgh by Luis van Ahn and Severine Hacker, who met at Carnegie Mellon. It is publicly traded, with a market cap of about $14 billion.

Emmanuel, or Manu, has been at Duolingo nearly five years, CMO since August 2023. Prior to Duolingo, Manu worked about five years at Spotify and nine years at Playstation. Tune in for a conversation around growth marketing & more with a bi-lingual CMO (French and English) who is learning Japanese on Duolingo!
