I manage complex global content strategy and translation and globalization operations, process, strategy, programs and projects. I help the diverse and complex enterprise to speak with 'one voice', regardless of language: to think local, while acting global.After more than 20 years in globalization management at HP I also worked at supply-side companies, gaining experience that allows me an industry-wide view of all aspects of global content and language management, translation technology, and procurement.Specific experience includes successfully designing, implementing, operating and supporting the most innovative and complex, global content translation management technology programs, on an enterprise scale, to achieve major cost-savings and efficiency while reaching a more global market. This is not simply about technology: it's business goals and global strategies, it's global brand management, it's people management and mentoring, and it's measuring and demonstrating success.It doesn't matter where you are, or what language you speak: we (can) understand each other perfectly!Specialties: Global customer experience, global content management technology, translation, localization, process re-engineering, change management, writing for the world (and for translation), internationalization, global support, global team management, making products global.
