Leading EdTech Twinkl has made two appointments to its executive team.
The Sheffield firm said Remo Gettini has joined as chief technology officer while Stuart Parker-Tyreman will join as chief education officer on 1st September.
Founded in 2010 by husband-and-wife team Jonathan and Susie Seaton, Twinkl provides learning materials and educational services, which are all teacher-created and checked.
It serves more than 6m customers around the world, offering over 1.5m resources via its website, with new content added daily. These range from classroom content and assessments, to AI tools and augmented reality games.
Already used in over 190 countries and regions around the world – including primary and secondary school teachers, nursery workers and parents – it is now seeking to expand its global footprint.
Gettini has over 30 years of experience in scaling digital platforms. He has worked with the likes of Depop, DreamWorks, Electronic Arts and World of Books.
“Joining Twinkl is deeply personal. As a father to a teenager, I see every day how important, and sometimes tough, learning can be,” he said.
“As a former teacher, I have been on the other side too, trying to support students in a system that did not always make it easy. That is why this mission resonates so strongly with me.”

Parker-Tyreman is a respected voice in education strategy and classroom innovation, and has more than 20 years of experience in secondary schools and multi-academy trusts across the UK.
Starting out as a secondary school teacher, he has held several senior positions, including deputy head and headteacher, in the past 15 years. Most recently, he has balanced roles as a MAT director in Hampshire and as a principal within Liberty Academy Trust, a group of schools with expertise in SEND and autism.
“As someone who’s worked in and with schools for many years, I was drawn to Twinkl’s ambition to lead, facilitate and support a better learning experience for all,” he said.
“There’s a clear commitment to educators, families, and learners around the world, and the chance to shape education at this scale was both hugely appealing and incredibly motivating.
“Used well, technology is a powerful enabler for teachers and parents, from home to classroom and beyond. Ed-Tech will play a key role in supporting and identifying complex learner needs and achieving a personalised learning experience, but we have to start from pedagogy, not product.
“Technology should serve practitioners – not the other way around.”
