Alexander Gigga grew up in Bad Kreuznach in the Rhine Valley in Germany, a stone’s throw from the French border. After his studies of industrial engineering at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, he joined Adidas, then world-renowned Fraunhofer Institut and eventually founded lengoo, a tech startup focusing on uniting the world’s best expert linguists with cutting-edge custom trained neural networks. As chief marketing officer, Alex is also the chief evangelist for neural machine translation, and language to him is the ultimate catalyst for creation.
