Looking for a localization consultant specialized in driving international growth through agile, tailored language solutions?

As a product-focused strategist, I bring a unique blend of expertise from tech, product development and the language industry to help you craft and execute localization strategies, build scalable multilingual content operations, and foster cross-departmental synergy in your pursuit of international success.

Values

In an ever-evolving global landscape, agility and adaptability are at the core of my work ethos as a localization consultant. Four pillars ground my approach to every project to meet your localization and cultural consulting with precision and professionalism.

User-Centricity

I prioritize understanding the culture, needs and experiences of your users. This user-first mentality means that the language solutions I provide resonate deeply and meaningfully with your target audience.

Holistic Rigor

The ability to zero in on granular product details without losing sight of your larger objectives ensures a balanced approach to your language operations. After all, success lies in mastering the small steps en route to the big picture.

Transparency

Communication is the key to a successful partnership. I maintain open feedback channels, so you’re never left in the dark and always have a reliable partner at your back.

Innovation

As a localization consultant, I leverage data and emerging AI technologies to provide scalable solutions, so your projects benefit from the latest advances and industry trends.

How I work

I tailor my process to your unique needs. As a communications scholar, author, and certified product owner and scrum master with a diverse background in media, language operations and leadership, I bring a unique skillset to every project. Here’s how our journey will look.

1

Consultation: A preliminary discussion to understand your needs, objectives, and expectations. This step ensures we’re on the same page and sets the foundation for our collaboration.

2

Analysis & development: Understanding your needs, I devise customized strategies across areas including language ops setup, process optimization, and a range of consultancy services.

3

Execution: Whether it’s culturalization research, hands-on editing, program or project management, I assure my deliverables align with your objectives and adhere to the highest standards.

4

Review & iterate: Post-execution, I work with your teams, prioritizing feedback loops and iterative refinement. Through effective stakeholder management and fostering synergy, your project will continue to thrive beyond my direct involvement.
