TAUS spoke with Adolfo Hernandez, the CEO of SDL, about what he had learnt from his first 18 months in his position. Adolfo is probably the captain of the translation industry with one of the shortest C-suite tenures. The theme of the conversation was:
"What is the single biggest lesson that you have learnt about the translation industry?"
Rory Cowan, founder of Lionbridge, is stepping down this year after 21 years as a highly successful CEO and moving into the role of Chairman. To kick off a new series of interviews with major figures in the translation/language services industry, TAUS wanted to find out the one big thing that Rory has learnt as head of the world’s largest language service provider. He responded with a veritable master class on how industries evolve, and how market participants can anticipate the timing, magnitude and impact of major industry changes.
