I hold a deep-seated respect for MultiLingual magazine for the essential work they do in elevating our industry’s profile. Their efforts in showcasing the intricacies and significance of localization educate and inspire a broad, global audience. This dedication to highlighting the achievements of localization professionals is vital for the continued growth and recognition our field deserves.

As someone who has navigated the vibrant and complex world of localization for most of his career, from being the CEO of an LSP to now an educator and consultant, I can attest to the importance of such platforms. They provide a voice and visibility to an industry that is crucial to global business and yet often overlooked. My career has been immensely enriched by the collaborative and innovative spirit of this industry, and I am committed to contributing to its growth and success, much in the way MultiLingual magazine has.

To be featured in this list of distinguished professionals is a personal honor and a powerful reaffirmation of my dedication to this dynamic field. It represents the culmination of years of hard work and a steadfast commitment to excellence in bridging linguistic and cultural divides. This recognition further motivates me to continue my efforts in shaping the future of localization, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of global communication and understanding. It is my hope and belief that through such collective efforts, localization will emerge from being “the largest industry you’ve never heard of” to a universally recognized and esteemed pillar of global business.
