Transfluent Hires Former Nokia, Rovio Product Wizard to Lead Mobile App Translations Unit

Transfluent, the world’s leading provider of language translations for social media and apps, today announced that Mr. Julien Fourgeaud has joined the startup’s team in the role of Vice President of Mobile.

 

Julien has previously worked at Nokia, Rovio, the company behind Angry Birds, and most recently as the CEO of Scarlet Motors, a developer of groundbreaking new electric vehicles. Julien adds to Transfluent his vast experience from product development in the mobile and apps space. In his role, Julien is to lead the development and marketing of Transfluent’s iOS, Android and Unity language translation products.

 

Just this week, Google announced the Android developer tools will include a feature for ordering professional translation of apps right from the Developer Console. This perfectly validates Transfluents view that localization of mobile apps if one of the fastest growing segments in the global translation industry. Transfluent, as the current technology leader in app and social media translations, is expected to grow rapidly over the coming months and years.

 

Julien comments: “With my previous experience at Nokia, being French, living in Finland and working in English, I definitely can understand the challenges of developers in catering for a multicultural audience. Transfluent has all the building blocks to optimize the localization workflow of developers, helping them to reach over 3 billion people. A great opportunity to build a new type of digital service.”

 

Julien joins Transfluent’s dream of creating a service that changes the way app developers and other companies communicate in global markets. Becoming the world’s largest company in the language translations industry is one of the small steps on the path to empower communication across cultures and break the language barriers for everyone.

 

“We’re very excited to have Julien as part of the team. He is a committed BASE jumping enthusiast, which really shines through in everything he does in business as well. Our mission is to do things in translation industry nobody thought possible, and Julien is a perfect guy to help us reach our ambitious goals,” said Mr. Jani Penttinen, Transfluent founder and CEO.

 

Julien will be attending the Unite Nordic Conference in Malm
