✨ Exciting News ✨ As you might already know, I’m one of the candidates for the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) Board for the 2024-2025 term. Thanks for your support Acolad group 🚀 I’m in the company of outstanding candidates Britta Aagaard Johan Sporre Dora Murgu Mladen Stojak Louise Law Volodymyr Kukharenko Sudheen M Paulo Guimarães Steve Braich who all bring amazing things to the table. I'm passionate about our industry and believe that GALA is the ideal place for me to channel this passion and energy to make a difference. Throughout my career, I've witnessed the powerful impact of language and localization services on business growth and global expansion. Now, in a time when our world faces transformative challenges and unparalleled opportunities, I truly believe our industry is not just a participant but a leader in this era of global change. As a candidate for the GALA Board, I am committed to championing for this evolution and infusing our journey with unity, creativity, and fun. My candidacy is built around three core pillars: 1.    Embracing change: Our industry, and indeed all industries worldwide, face a competitive landscape that demands quick adaptability and innovative solutions. This moment, while challenging, represents a world of opportunities for language and localization. It's the time to drive change and showcase the impact language and localization can have on growth and revenue.   2.    The power of partnerships: I am a firm believer in the power of partnerships. Collaboration and breaking boundaries are at the core of my approach. GALA is more than just an industry association; it's a dynamic community. Through knowledge sharing, best practices, networking, and advocacy, GALA empowers industry professionals to learn, grow, and inspire one another. Together, we can achieve more and drive our industry to new heights.   3.    Have fun along the way! The third pillar stands for laughter and lightness! In our journey of growth and transformation, let's not forget to laugh. Fun is one of the most efficient catalysts for creativity, innovation, and relationships. GALA is not just about serious industry discussions; it's also about enjoying the journey together, celebrating successes, and creating memorable moments and connections that help drive us forward. Let's unite as a community, have fun, and energize the entire industry!   I’m gearing up for this journey and eager to see what we can achieve together.
