Ted's Take

The Blogging Site of Ted Leonsis

Rosetta Stone

What a great name for a company. Unlocking the code in your brain to help you learn how to speak a foreign language. What an interesting concept.

I am pleased and honored to join the Board of Directors of this public company. Their brand and distribution seem strong. Those kiosk and yellow boxes are everywhere.

There are headquartered here. They employ our neighbors and friends. They stimulate our local economy. They are growing. They are profitable.

I enjoy mentoring young executives and helping to drive companies to large scale.

This will be a fun and interesting adventure.

I hope to use their products, too, to learn how to speak Russian.

Go out and learn a new language and become a global citizen.

    Ted,

    What a wonderous achievement and jesture to learn the language of your franchise player. With Varlomov maturing into a astonishing asset and Semin hopefully becoming a long-term aquisition to the team, I wish you well in your goal to learn another language.

    We’ve worked with them for 5 years Ted and they really nice and really smart people. Congrats on the board seat. After having been through a similar growth curve with Tempur-Pedic the best is yet to come.

    Congrats Ted. I understand that you will help them focus on their Internet strategy. May I be presumptuous and recommend that they also start work on an iPhone app (if they have not already)? Good luck.

    I desperately want to invest in a language program from them. With how well the company seems to be doing, it can only mean the programs work.

    Picking the language I’d like to learn is the real problem!

    Welcome to the team! Now I have even more of a reason to head up to DC to watch the Capitals!
