Meet Our Instructors

Localization Institute classes, seminars and round tables are led by seasoned practitioners and managers from real-world customer businesses whose skills are not just honed remotely from a research or service provider perspective. They bring  years of hands on experience from within all size corporate enterprises. Combine this with practice in academia, supplier or LSP backgrounds. Add parallel management experience with IT, content, training, support and marketing.  Localization Institute is the only source for classes, seminars and round tables with world-class real best practice content and learnings.
