Paula Barbary Shannon, Chief Sales Officer at Lionbridge, will present a thought-provoking message entitled “Language at the core: Megatrends in Globalization”.  The discussion will cover Paula’s experience as an executive in the localization industry, the mega shift of Language as “an end” to a world with Language as “a means”, and a motivational call to action for the audience to pursue their own professional “evolution”.

Paula Shannon is fluent in English, French, and Dutch, and functional in German, Spanish, and Russian. Educated in Canada, Belgium and the US, she holds a B.A. in Russian and German with a minor in Linguistics from McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Paula is a Board Member at the non-profit organization Translators without Borders.
