I help global organizations deliver multimedia and eLearning content that resonates across languages, cultures, and platforms. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve led strategy and execution for localization workflows, multimedia production, and AI-enabled solutions that scale from pilot to enterprise adoption.At Welocalize, I drive the evolution of our multimedia offerings — designing tiered products, integrating emerging AI tools, and partnering with Fortune 100 clients to remove barriers to global training and communication. My work spans subtitling, voiceover, dubbing, and on-screen text workflows, blending automation with creative oversight to deliver both efficiency and quality.What I enjoy most is the product mindset: translating customer needs into scalable solutions, roadmapping features with cross-functional teams, and tracking outcomes through adoption and measurable impact. Whether it’s launching a 200-video-per-day pilot, building an AI+human workflow for eLearning, or aligning executive stakeholders around a new approach, I focus on delivering results that are sustainable, innovative, and globally inclusive.Areas of focus-Product strategy & roadmap design (AI + human hybrid models)-Multimedia localization (subtitling, voiceover, dubbing, OST)-eLearning & L&D workflows at enterprise scale-AI/automation benchmarking (ASR, MT, synthetic voice, avatars)-Cross-functional collaboration with engineering, marketing, and sales-Customer discovery, competitive analysis, and executive communication
