Twinkl, a leading provider of educational resources, has announced the appointment of two new executive directors to its senior leadership team.
Remo Gettini (left) has joined as chief technology officer, and Stuart Parker-Tyreman (right) is joining as chief education officer on the 1st September.
Gettini has over 30 years of experience in scaling digital platforms, and a proven track record helping global businesses such as Depop, DreamWorks, Electronic Arts, and World of Books navigate the ever-changing world of technology. He will be responsible for guiding Twinkl into a new era of technological growth, innovation, and security.
He said: “Joining Twinkl is deeply personal. As a father to a teenager, I see every day how important, and sometimes tough, learning can be. And 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. I am not here just to build EdTech experiences, but also to deliver solutions that really understand and support learners and educators. This work matters to me on every level.”

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 balanced roles as a MAT director in Hampshire, UK, and a principal within Liberty Academy Trust, a group of schools with expertise in SEND and Autism.
The appointments mark a significant step in the company’s evolution, reinforcing its dual commitment to cutting-edge technology and high-impact educational practice. As Twinkl expands its global footprint and product portfolio, these strategic leadership roles will ensure innovation and pedagogy remain at the core of its mission.
With over 147 million unique visitors in 2024, Twinkl is one of the world’s most widely-used education resource platforms. Positioning itself for its next stage of growth, the new chief technology officer and chief education officer have been appointed to help steer the business through scale-up, product diversification, and deeper market credibility. It’s a story of moving from “startup energy” to mature leadership — and of doubling down on both pedagogy and platform.
Jon Seaton, Twinkl’s CEO and Founder said: “Our mission has always been to help those who teach, and delivering on that promise centres on us continuing to deliver trusted, transformative educational experiences. By strengthening our leadership team with deep expertise in both technology and education, we’re investing in the future — not just of our company, but of the sector itself.”
