Education technology company Beedle, headquartered in Reykjavik, Iceland, has named Melanie Schneider as its new CEO. Melanie, who also holds the title as Co-founder and previously held the role as CCO, is part of a formidable management team including Guðmundur Axelsson, Founder and CTO, and Eloise Freygang, Co-founder and CMO. The company has around 20 employees including education and business specialists, programmers, analysts, and designers.

Beedle’s mission is to make valuable contributions to the digital transformation of education globally, by providing an all-in-one education solution based on the Microsoft for Education platform.

“As a former teacher, I was always very bothered by the outdated school processes, old technology, and the ridged and scattered systems that were so established in our school, “says Melanie. “So, I moved over to EdTech, studied Business IT, and gained tremendous experience as part of a traditional LMS supplier for 7 years. From there, Beedle was born, to provide a single platform for teaching, learning, communication, and collaboration in Microsoft Teams for Education. We basically supercharge Microsoft Teams for Education.”

Complements Eloise Freygang: “We foresee a very bright future. Beedle was launched only 2 years ago, and we are already trusted by over 700 schools in more than 80 countries. We’re seeing a tremendous increase in demand for our solutions by schools globally. Microsoft partners are essential is our go-to-market strategy globally, and we are already working with many vendors and our channel is growing.”

“As the world explores more hybrid models of education and work, we are in the position to continue to develop unique and secure solutions and deliver highly scalable offerings for the education sector globally. We draw our learnings from the invaluable feedback from our customers and the way they use our tools, to swiftly deliver technologies that help teachers, students, and parents and promote collaboration, whether they’re meeting in person or online,” says Guðmundur Axelson, Beedle CTO and Founder.
