Lingo Media Corporation (LMDCF) (LM:CA) Bolsters ELL Technologies Team with Strategic Hire

Earlier today, Lingo Media Corporation (OTCQB: LMDCF) (TSX-V: LM) announced the hiring of Luis Ortiz. Ortiz joins the company’s ELL Technologies division as director of sales, Latin America. He brings more than two decades of sales and sales management experience in the pivotal Latin American region to the Lingo team, having previously delivered significant sales growth for employers such as Wi-LAN Inc. (NASDAQ: WILN) and SMART Technologies (NASDAQ: SMT). Moving forward, the company expects this industry insight and sales expertise to play an important role in helping deliver its cutting-edge suite of English language training solutions to channel partners, distributors and direct sales clients throughout Latin America.

“We are very pleased to have such an experienced professional join the ELL Technologies team. Luis brings tremendous talent and a deep understanding of how to build out sales channels in Latin America,” Gali Bar-Ziv, chief operating officer of Lingo Media, stated in this morning’s news release. “We are confident that Luis will provide great value to our prospects and customers.”

Ortiz’s track record in Latin America is impressive. With SMART Technologies, a world leader in simple and intuitive solutions that enable more natural collaboration, Ortiz developed and implemented a successful channel program for Latin America that drove regional sales increases of 100 percent per year from 2005 to 2013, during which time SMART established a strategic foothold in 17 countries throughout the region. He also played a key role in the negotiation of the largest education technology contract ever awarded by the federal government of Mexico.

“I am very excited to join the ELL Technologies team. The current and upcoming solutions offered by the company are market-leading technologies that become more relevant as the Latin American education market grows,” Ortiz stated in the news release. “These solutions represent an outstanding revenue opportunity for distributors and I look forward to driving sales growth by increasing and strengthening our distributor network in the region.”

The addition of Ortiz to the ELL Technologies team comes just weeks after Lingo, through its subsidiary, announced completion of development for its ‘ELL Studio’ speech recognition and pronunciation mobile app, which is expected to be available on both Android and iOS devices. Using this app, language learners will be able to practice their spoken English on their mobile devices in any setting. The company plans to launch ‘ELL Studio’ in the second quarter of this year as a free tool for current subscribers of ELL Technologies’ courses.
