I started my career in the industry almost 15 years ago through the typical translation and localization path: from in-house translator, editor and then freelance translator to an entrepreneur that is involved in all aspects of the business. That is until our company’s growth pushed me, unbeknown to myself, towards a management position, which I did not know if I was ready for, but that I’ve grown to love over the years.I’ve been learning, re-learning and adapting ever since, given that we are in a highly dynamic industry that moves in all directions and at all possible speeds (when I started, CAT Tools were new and we were still editing projects by printing everything, to the detriment of the planet and printer technicians).With my business partners, who by now are long-life friends, we created Arcadia Translations and went through all stages of a business, from the uncertainty of the first days to the exponential growth of the last few years. We became a Fully Distributed Company almost 8 years ago and we have been running the company successfully ever since, with a focus on balancing work and family life, and building a team of wonderful, collaborative people who can face any new challenges.Due to an explosion of multimedia content, we launched in 2020 a sister company to Arcadia Translations, Ark One Studios, that seeks to bring high-quality localized and originally-produced content to audiences in the LATAM Market, who have long suffered from sub-standard localization work.I’m a geek at heart, and it has always been a dream for me to be able to integrate my love of languages and localization with Movies, TV Shows, Music and Visuals. I love writing, I love music and, above all, I love stories. And the possibility of helping screenwriters, directors and producers to tell those stories in different languages is what drove me and the rest of the Ark One Studios team to this new wonderful enterprise.
