About Jónatas Miguel

As an experienced Localization Specialist, I help companies successfully sell products and services in the Portuguese market by speaking their customers' language.

Born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal, I spent my childhood in Mozambique and pursued high-school level studies at an international school in Italy with students and teachers from 200 different countries.

This background gave me a passion for international understanding and bridging cultures, and an intensive course on collaboration between people of extremely different backgrounds, which I believe is an invaluable asset for a career in the localization industry.

On my off time, I am also passionate for creative writing, music, and bonding with my family.

Besides helping brands engage with Portuguese customers and increase their revenue in out market, I’m interested in localization management and am currently finishing an intensive Localization Management training.
