Hi, I’m Alberto Gilli. I’m a bilingual Italian localization professional with extensive experience coordinating Italian language projects for tech and gaming companies. I’ve led Italian localization efforts for AppleCare projects, Asana, and other clients, handling terminology, style guides, and QA to ensure high-quality, on-target content. I’m passionate about producing accurate, culturally appropriate content and I believe that translation is a key part of effective marketing. Beyond language work, I’m a financial trader with experience in stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies. I enjoy music and cinema, and I love turning complex ideas into clear, engaging content. I’ve studied Arts and Cinema at the University of Turin and completed various Coursera courses on business, economics, and leadership.
