Cristiana Carpinone

I am a Localization Leader with over 20 years of experience managing content localization operations for global tech, SaaS, HR, and consumer brands.

Throughout my career, I have led end-to-end localization workflows — from scope definition and resource management to quality assurance and final delivery — ensuring linguistic excellence while aligning language strategy with product and business objectives.

I have collaborated with cross-functional teams including Product Managers, Engineers, UX Writers, and Marketing stakeholders, supporting product launches and large-scale content ecosystems. My experience spans SaaS platforms, business apps, HR systems, marketing content, and legal documentation.

In recent years, I have worked extensively with AI-assisted and MTPE workflows, focusing on quality governance, risk mitigation, and scalable localization processes rather than pure linguistic output. I specialize in transforming fragmented localization setups into structured, efficient systems.

Key strengths:

• Localization strategy & operations

• Vendor selection and team leadership

• SLA and quality framework implementation

• AI & MT workflow integration

• Linguistic testing & UX validation

• Language Assets Maintenance

• Stakeholder communication across global teams

Having worked both in-house (as Senior Project Manager & Language Lead) and as a founder of a localization team, I combine operational execution with strategic vision.

I am particularly interested in roles such as Localization Manager, Head of Localization, Italian Language Lead, of Cross Language Lead within tech-driven, international environments.
