Edu Giansante is the Head of Community at Wix and founder of Edublin.
Originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil, Edu moved to Ireland in 2008, which is when he started his first expat community: Edublin. His ability to share useful information in video storytelling has brought him to over 400K YouTube subscribers and over 50 million views.
While creating on Edublin, Edu also joined Zynga and led its Community as a Global Community manager. His work to scale communities resulted in millions of USD in savings, and he was awarded the most efficient employee of the year, in 2013. He later joined Dropbox, in 2014, with a challenge to start Dropbox's community strategy from scratch. Within months Edu launched the Dropbox Super User program and was able to fly them to the HQ in San Francisco, where they met the product team and Dropbox's founder: Drew Houston. In 2020 Edu was elected the Online Community Professional of the Year 2020 by CMX.
In 2021 Edu joined Wix to help shape its Community long-term strategy and scale to millions of Wix users. Edu also joined several non-profit mentorship programs to help people in their careers, as well as became an Angel Investor in multiple startups.
On a more personal note Edu loves his daily walks in the Dublin mountains with his beagle Danone, and he's the former drummer of the Irish band Medz.
