"It is imperative for an ambitious organization to think internationally. Your message has to ring true to your clients and other constituents worldwide from Argentina to Zimbabwe. Be very careful about cultural and linguistic differences."

"With origins in the former USSR, I joined the US State Department as an interpreter in 1993 – working with amazing colleagues, including many government officials who became my mentors."

"It was entrepreneurship however that was my true calling. So, I started Language Connections soon after…building a new type of a language services company in a very competitive field – a high quality ‘boutique’ that would stand apart from the herd. This year we celebrated our 20th anniversary."

"Internationalization of communications is part of a tectonic shift that is happening in the 21st century. It’s inevitable that our industry will undergo dramatic changes. Our clients include Fortune 500 companies, great universities such as Harvard, Columbia and MIT, as well as many start-ups and government agencies. We must stay abreast with these changes and to show our clients the way forward."
