Job Title:: Founder/President

Company Name:: Palindrome Translations

About Me:: I am a multilingual international business executive with more than 25 years experience. I help clients increase their ROI in international sales and marketing by improving their multilingual content production process and quality including professional translation and multilingual brand-management consulting services as well as website and software translation and localization and Globalization Management System (GMS) software. I assist enterprises of all sizes with delivering products, services, applications, training and content in a culturally appropriate manner in the local language. By allowing clients to compete more effectively in the global marketplace, they can grow their businesses internationally.

I was born and raised in Curacao, Dutch Caribbean; I have resided in the Boston area since 1999 and have business experience in the publishing industry, retail book industry and, for the last five years in the translation and localization industry where I started as a freelance translator in 2003. I currently live in Salem, MA with my wife, Kathleen and our two children, Fiona (3) and Benjamin (1). I am a US Permanent Resident and have a EU passport. I am fluent in Dutch, Spanish, English and Papiamentu. I am passionate about languages, international business, communication, sales, marketing, technology, establishing and nurturing customer and vendor relationships, finding and implementing productive and profitable business opportunities and making deals.
