Bob Donaldson Joins McElroy as VP of Strategy
McElroy Translation is pleased to announce that it has named Bob Donaldson as its vice president of strategy. Bob, a proven technology executive, has deep experience starting technical business units and attracting and mentoring leading-edge technical talent. He brings more than 25 years of pragmatic, problem-solving leadership, and creative technology application experience to his new role. His initial focus will be on strategic alignment of technology initiatives to better serve the translation community and to streamline the processes that deliver language and localization services to McElroy clients.
Bob comes to McElroy from Carson Strategy Group, where he served as Independent IT Strategy Consultant. He also served at Sydcor as Director of Systems Strategy. He holds degrees from the University of Texas at Austin and Charles University in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in graduate studies of Slavic languages. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Government and minors in history, mathematics, Russian, and German from the University of Maryland, and is an honors graduate in Russian from the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA. Joining the McElroy team is a “coming home,” as he worked briefly as a freelance Russian translator for McElroy in the late 1970s before embarking on a more technically focused career path.
