As a Senior Localization & LQA Specialist, I help international brands ensure that their German content meets the same quality standards as their products.
I typically work with product and marketing teams in international companies where German content is business-critical but not the core market language.
With over 20 years of professional experience in localization and linguistic quality assurance, I support companies and language service providers with German localization, linguistic review and LQA at enterprise level. My focus is on content that is linguistically accurate, brand-consistent and fit for real-world use across digital products, marketing and international platforms.
I have worked in distributed localization and LQA teams for multinational companies in technology, sports, consumer electronics, travel and lifestyle, contributing to large-scale workflows and high-visibility products.
