Maverick Translations España

Owner

Vilassar de Mar, Barcelona, Spain

januari 2006 - januari 2009 (3 jaren)

Owner of Spanish-based translation agency Maverick Translations. Customers included Google, Eneco, Match.com and various public relations agencies. After three years in the greater Barcelona area, I decided it was time to return to my native country, the Netherlands (to the disbelief of my fellow countrymen), where I set up a company of the same name. I retained 100% of my customers.

januari 2005 - januari 2006 (1 jaar)

In close collaboration with the programmers, I wrote English user manuals and help files for asset management, remote management software distribution applications. I also translated press releases and marketing material.

Bowne Global Solutions (now part of Lionbridge)

Senior Web Editor

Leiden, Netherlands

januari 2001 - juni 2003 (2 jaren en 5 maanden)

I was responsible for the creation, editing, management and translation of web content for Discovery Channel, MSN and Nokia. We were very successful in drawing the interest of users. Back then, MSN's search engine was a human edited search engine. My team and I had a field time boosting the relevancy of the search results for the Dutch, Belgian and South African markets through smart search work and editing. Our contact at MSN was more than happy with the statistical and relevancy reports turned in by various third-party analysts. Those were the days!

First-line email and phone support in German, English and Dutch for products including Norton Antivirus, Norton Utilities and WinFax. Translation of marketing collateral and the knowledge base. At highschool, were were presented with computers featuring green screens
- BBC and Tandem, I believe - and were told that these were the future. I was put off technology for years, but my colleagues and work at Symantec managed to inspire a passion for IT in me. I decided to pursue a career combining language and technology and joined Exact Software.
