About
I’m a serial entrepreneur with decades of experience in natural language processing. I founded and coded TRADOS, the global leader in computer-assisted translation, and Metaversum, a pioneering startup that mirrored real life in a virtual world. Working in Belgium, Virginia, and California, I’ve gained valuable experiences building global organizations, raising venture capital, executing M&A on both sides, serving on boards, and supporting startups as an angel investor and mentor. I’m passionate about combining emerging technologies with innovative business models. Today, I’m advancing LangOps, helping companies such as Roche or Liebherr identify and deploy their linguistic assets to power multilingual AI. My vision: every company should be able to understand all its customers, regardless of language. I am happy to connect and share how LangOps can accelerate your global growth while saving costs.
