In our last episode of the Global Experience Leaders series, Lilt CEO Spence Green spoke with Anna Schlegel from Procore (and formerly of NetApp) about how to build localization at an enterprise organization, understanding the true business case of global growth, the questions that localization leaders need to ask, and so much more.

This week's episode looks at a leader that founded one of the most impactful language technology entrepreneurs and one that has continued to innovate over the years: Jochen Hummel. 

In our newest episode of GXL, Spence sits down with Jochen, Founder and former CEO of Trados and current CEO of Coreon. Jochen was an early pioneer in the language industry and has continued to play a huge role in the creation and adoption of language technology.

Spence and Jochen dive into the details of what it’s like to start a company, moving from business products to consumer products, fragmentation in the language industry, how language technology will change, and so much more. 

Keep an eye out for our final episode of GXL Season 1 featuring Thiago Schreiner (Senior Director, Global Localization at Blizzard Entertainment). 

Coming soon: Global Experience Leaders, Season 2!
