Conversations with the people shaping how companies grow internationally — globalization leaders, language technologists, AI practitioners, and the operators who make it all work.
The Global Crowd explores the intersection of globalization, AI, and international growth strategy through conversations with practitioners who've been in the trenches. No theoretical fluff — real stories from real operators about what works, what breaks, and what they'd do differently.
Topics range from MT adoption and TMS architecture to GenAI ethics, go-to-market localization strategy, and the future of the language industry. Guests have included leaders from companies shipping products in dozens of languages across every continent.
The conversation in the globalization industry has shifted dramatically in the past two years. Recent episodes have explored how AI is reshaping translation workflows, what "quality" means when machines do most of the work, how language service providers are reinventing their business models, and what enterprises actually need from their globalization partners.
The show doesn't shy away from uncomfortable topics: vendor consolidation, the real economics of AI in production, and honest conversations about what's working and what isn't in the rush to automate everything.
The Global Crowd is always looking for practitioners with interesting stories to tell. If you're working on something novel in globalization, international growth, or language technology and want to share your experience, reach out.
