She will oversee the ongoing development strategy of the market leading Phrase Localization Platform and the overall product roadmap.
“We are thrilled to have Simone take on this critical leadership role as we have exciting plans for Phrase in 2023 and beyond, as every global company is now building or even accelerating its localization strategy,” said Georg Ell, CEO of Phrase. “Increasingly, business leaders understand that localization is more than merely translation and forms a core pillar in their plans for growth. And enterprise-grade, cloud-based, AI-led localization technology is crucial to the sort of authentic engagement that drives global business in both existing and new markets. Simone’s experience in these fields make her a superb addition to our team at exactly the right time as we propel our product capabilities to new heights.”
