Aleksandra Wojtkun

Hi, I’m Aleksandra! My journey in localization started 12 years ago at Lionbridge. After that, I spent nearly a decade at Milengo in Berlin, where I got to explore several roles: QA Specialist, Vendor Manager, and ultimately, VM Team Lead.

With nine years of vendor management experience under my belt, I’d love to unveil the joys and challenges of this trade. My personal mission has been to make the localization industry a better place by fostering thoughtful and respectful communication between translation experts, employees at LSPs, and customers.

My top three favorite ways to relax include gardening, taking solo trips to the movies and tackling jigsaw puzzles.
