Local Translation Company Incorporates New Thought Leaders into Current Staff
Austin, Texas - April 2007 McElroy Translation, an Austin-based leader in legal, technical, medical and business translation and software and Web site localization, today announced that it has named Bob Donaldson as its vice president for strategy.
Donaldson, a proven technology executive, has deep experience starting technical business units and attracting and mentoring leading-edge technical talent. He brings over 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.
Donaldson 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. Donaldson 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 of 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 70's before embarking on a more technically-focused career path.
