In business, how do you communicate to the team that: “Our success is intertwined, and we're all working toward the same goal.” Here’s one of the easiest ways… Become a “we" person, not an "I" person. Happy National Mentoring Day! #NationalMentoringDay #Mentorship #Leadership #WeNotMe #CompanyCulture

We're honored to host the first-ever college football bowl game to be played in Puerto Rico! The TransPerfect San Juan Bowl kicks off December 16th, with teams from the ACC and the Sun Belt. 🏈 Puerto Rico already has a rich culture and history of athletic excellence—especially in baseball, basketball and boxing. We're excited to begin a new tradition by bringing college football to the island. Business, like football, requires teamwork and preparation to execute at a high level. Special thanks to all of our team members who made this dream a reality! @TransPerfect will be working hard to create a world-class experience for student-athletes and fans alike. Please join us for the game! espn.com/college-football/st… @theACC @SunBelt @Miguel_Romero_ @ricar2_torres

TransPerfect bids a fond farewell to Paul Ralston, our longest-tenured original team member. Paul has seen it all in his 29 years. He joined us when the company’s annual revenue was less than $8 million—and he remained a valuable contributor as the company grew to over $1.3 billion. Generations of @TransPerfect professionals have learned from Paul and benefited from his decades of institutional knowledge. Thank you for all the great years, Paul!  …and best wishes for retirement. p.s. Enjoy this classic 2007 marketing touch piece featuring Paul.

Congratulations to Adesola Akinwale, a Delaware native pursuing her career in intellectual property law, supported by a Citizens for Judicial Fairness scholarship. CJF was originally created by @TransPerfect employees who banded together and ran a successful campaign to save the company from what they perceived as an improper abuse of power by the Delaware courts. The group continues to drive important change in Delaware, including randomized “wheel spin” to select Chancery judges for cases—and by supporting students who are future leaders from Delaware. Congratulations on winning this scholarship, Adesola! …we know you are going to accomplish amazing things in your career.

Global communications, AI and customer service collided with the energy of 1,500 clients—as London hosted what would become our largest event in history… TransPerfect NEXT! One of the benefits of our scale is that we were able to successfully host 10 specialized tracks—simultaneously. Each one featuring thought leaders, client case studies, and compelling content. Special thanks to Matt Hauser and Will Guidara for their inspiring keynote speeches—and to all our attendees—whose collective energy propelled us through 48 hours of teaching, learning, and benchmarking with our colleagues. Can’t wait for next year! #TransPerfectNEXT #UnreasonableHospitality #GlobalBusiness @TransPerfect @QEIICentre @mjhauser @WillGuidara

Whether the lesson comes from the ancient Greeks, a U.S. President from the 1920s, or our own experience at @TransPerfect, the message is the same... Persistence is all-powerful. Don't be afraid to fail. Later in your career, you will not remember all the failures it took to reach a success, but you will remember your successes. #Entrepreneurship #Persistence #Leadership

Here is @TransPerfect Senior Vice President Jess Eker introducing Will Guidara as keynote speaker for our internal training conference in 2024! Our management team was so inspired by the stories of Guidara and his team providing clients "Unreasonable Hospitality" that we made a promise to ourselves—we would one day have him back for an external client conference. This month, we make good on that promise! So I wholeheartedly welcome you to join us and Will Guidara at the intersection of Language and AI and Client Service—for TransPerfectNEXT on September 24–25th in London! ...and Bob's your uncle.

Want to move forward faster in your career? Actively solicit negative feedback from your managers. But how? Here is one way we coach at @TransPerfect, ask your managers… “I get the feeling you don’t think I’m the best [job title] that’s ever walked the face of the earth—tell me what I can do to be better?” It is important not to be defensive here—and just use the answers as a tool for continuous learning. The actual words don’t matter, but the attitude—and you showing a genuine interest in improving does—it sets the tone for career success. #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment

Judson Bennett passed away Saturday, May 2, 2026. I came to know Judson because of his interest in the @TransPerfect case in Delaware Chancery Court. In many ways, our case was a precursor to the controversial set of Elon Musk cases that would follow. Jud was a prolific writer and publisher of op-ed articles, taking a conservative viewpoint in the liberal state of Delaware. He interviewed countless TransPerfect employees during—what I'll politely describe as—our wranglings with the Chancery Court and Chancellor Andre Bouchard in particular, starting back in 2014. During a period in which the Court was routinely issuing gag orders surrounding our case, Judson was unafraid to speak out. He sought to hold government actors, including judges, accountable for controversial, conflicted and self-interested decisions. Based on what he learned during the TransPerfect case, Jud foresaw the controversies that Chancery would create—and attempted to spare Delaware the resulting exodus of corporations. Personally, I want to thank Mr. Bennett for giving a voice to the TransPerfect families negatively impacted by the Chancery’s decisions from 2014 to 2018. For those who wish to know more about Jud, please take a moment to read his obituary in the Delaware Cape Gazette. RIP Judson Bennett—you were a son and soldier of Delaware—your pen was your sword. capegazette.com/article/anth…
