About T for Translation

T for Translation is hosted by CSOFT International, a leading provider of multilingual localization, testing, and software development solutions for the global market. The purpose of this blog is to help organizations engaging in localization to keep informed of trends and events that might affect the success of their products in the international market. Not only that, but we would also like to give our clients, partners, and extended team members the opportunity to see CSOFT and its people from an insider’s perspective.

About the Authors

 
Shunee is the President and CEO of CSOFT International. She has more than 15 years of experience in the localization industry, having formerly pioneered Lionbridge Technologies’ technical development services in China as Vice President for Asia Market Development. Prior to Lionbridge, Shunee helped forge China operations for International Communications as Vice President & General Manager for Asia Pacific operations.

She is the 2009 winner of the prestigious international Stevie Award for Best Asian Entrepreneur for Women in Business. In her free time, Shunee is an avid art collector, hosting yearly exhibitions at CSOFT’s annual Operations Summit. She enjoys reading corny romance novels (though she’ll never admit it), and she is a devoted mother to her son, with a passion for childhood development and education.

Jason King, the former CEO of Lavasoft, currently serves as CSOFT’s Vice President of Global Business Development in Europe. Jason has more than 15 years of experience in intercultural business, having spearheaded development efforts for Ericsson Hewlett Packard Telecommunications, Regus Business Centres, and Stena Line AB.

Jason was born in England, so he spells normal American words with extra U’s, and spells localization with an S. We try not to hold it against him, though, because he’s a pretty cool guy.

Zachary Overline is a writer at CSOFT. He handles fun marketing stuff, like creative content development and blog entries, and tackles some of the boring stuff too—like proposals, white papers, and technical writing. He has lived in China for nearly five years, speaks Mandarin fluently, and is easily manipulated into doing most things with promises of either Mexican food or Wheat Thins. Follow Zach on Twitter.

Matt Arney leads CSOFT’s North America sales team and is accountable for driving revenue and managing customer relationships throughout the region. He joined CSOFT in 2004 after working for more than eight years in the Japanese software distribution industry. Arney holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from San Diego State University, is fluent in Japanese, and is the father of three children who are pretty darn cute in spite of their questionable genes.
