Marta Boer
Hi, I’m Marta! I’ve been working in localization for 20+ years, and my favourite segment is talent management. In my last job, I helped to grow a company by recruiting and onboarding a team of 35 people and over 300 freelance localizers to work on our LQA projects.
I’m currently setting out as a consultant for SMBs and start-ups on building and growing their localization teams and supporting localization freelancers on how to establish themselves in the industry.
When not working, I like to travel, listen to podcasts or audiobooks, work out every day, and watch fire-fighting and fantasy TV shows from time to time.
