Gina Gotthilf led early growth at Tumblr and Duolingo. She’s also kind of ridiculous.
Get candid takes on building an unusual career, navigating strange life moments and being too opinionated for a demure lady raised to marry rich.
Hi! I’m a measly Brazilian philosophy major who led growth at Duolingo from 3m to 200m+ users, worked on the Mike Blomberg presidential campaign, grew Tumblr in Latin America, built a VC fund and is now onto something new…
This is me with Obama at the Whit House but don’t worry, I’m all over the place politically.
