Seventeen years ago, after a finishing a degree in translation and interpretation, Bjoern left Germany to start his localization career in Southern California. The solitary life of translating wasn’t for him, so he began working as a Project Manager and quickly moved to roles in account management and eventually sales. He was with several translation services providers before changing direction to go into software sales. Bjoern speaks four languages and currently lives in Argentina.
