Mexican born and now London living Olivia Zavala is Chief Brand Storyteller at language learning app Memrise (winner of Google’s app of the year 2017) and co-founder of Taqueria restaurant Homies On Donkeys. In this episode Brendon and Zoe chat to Olivia about relocating to the UK; her journey from a prolific content and teaching background into the brand and marketing profession and discover the challenges and lessons she’s learned growing a tech scale-up to more than double its size in the last 12 months.
Olivia talks passionately about the vital importance of a clear, shared vision and the power of listening to your users. Oh, and, perhaps most importantly: how to make the ultimate taco.
Olivia is fluent in two languages and is learning three more. Don’t worry, we feel like underachievers too.
