Virginia Entizne

Coming from the beautiful city of Salamanca, Spain where she obtained her first master’s degree in Linguistics at one of the oldest and most prestigious Universities in the West, Virginia’s obsession with learning and discovery has taken her on a journey eastwards for the past 20 years. After completing yet another master’s degree, this time in Business Administration, she worked for several fast-growing companies in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and subsequently moved to Singapore, where she led the exponential growth of a leading premier language school. Her deep understanding of both European and Asian markets, her ability to see every aspect of a business from the customer’s perspective and her natural talent to create, develop and manage a company have made her the driving force behind Cuca’s success.
