Creator of Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM), Market researcher and speaker

I was a key contributor to many core localization sector standards (TMX, TBX, ITS 2.0, SRX…) and am a recognized expert in language technology and the language sector.

I can help you use language, culture, and technology to reach the world more effectively, engage customers authentically, and communicate with the world in culturally relevant ways.

I bring together technical and cultural domains to synthesize and deliver actionable insights that help you succeed internationally.
