Jul 25, 2025

Talking to executives is never easy and feeling ignored makes it even harder. I’ve been there…..pitched a localization project I truly believed in… and never heard back. That experience stayed with me. Over time, I’ve learned what works (and what doesn’t) when trying to influence decision-makers.

In this post, I share 5 practical tactics that helped me go from feeling overlooked to getting buy-in (without changing the heart of what we do in Localization)

If we want to position Localization as a product, how do we measure its value?
Jun 28, 2025

If we want to treat localization like a product, we need to measure it like one. Traditional metrics like cost per word and delivery time still matter, but they don’t capture the full picture. In this post, I share four categories of product-style metrics: adoption, automation impact, strategic influence, and internal visibility that they can help you track the real value your localization team is creating across the company.

The Localization mindset shift: from only providing services to also thinking like a product team.
Jun 21, 2025

Localization as a Product means building solutions that make it easier for others to work with localization by turning our expertise into systems that are scalable and reusable.This shift doesn’t replace the service mindset. It builds on it.
We still support teams but we also design tools, workflows, and automations that reduce repetitive work and increase impact. Instead of translating on request, we enable content flows.
Instead of fixing the same problems again and again, we build systems that prevent them. This is how localization grows from being reactive support to becoming part of how the company builds and scales globally.

The spining bike, the power of starting somewhere to get momentum and how to create the Globalization flywheel
Jun 13, 2025

Just like the flywheel on a spinning bike, it’s hard to get going at first , there’s resistance. But once you build speed, it gets easier to keep the momentum.
In Globalization, it works the same way. You can enter at any point quality, user feedback, tooling, content…. and that push will start turning the wheel.
Each action builds on the next, and little by little, it helps the company move faster toward market expansion.

Inside the mind of a Localization buyer: my Inside Out-inspired take on understanding buyer types
May 31, 2025

Over the years, I’ve noticed that localization buyers, like the emotions in Inside Out, are often driven by one dominant need. Some are in survival mode, juggling too much. Others are just getting started and need guidance. Some care about speed, others about cost, and some are laser-focused on how things feel in-market.
