Andrej Zito
Hey, I’m Andrej! I started my localization career when I was 19 and learned pretty much everything on the job. And I believe you can do the same — we learn best by rolling up our sleeves and doing the job. That’s why I started Localization Academy after 17 years in the industry.
I worked as a project/program manager for the biggest part of my career. I’m here to share my experience from both the client and vendor side, where I mostly led localization projects for Microsoft, Autodesk and Intel.
In my free time, I climb, dance, and play games. I’m not your typical stuffy-suit industry veteran — there will be lots of smiles and stories… and probably a little swearing!
