About

I’m a Senior Copywriter and Localization Specialist with 15+ years of experience helping global SaaS and tech companies communicate clearly, consistently, and culturally across markets. I specialize in brand voice, localization strategy, and AI-assisted content workflows, working at the intersection of language, product, and performance. At Babbel, I owned the French brand voice and led localization and content workflows across Paid Social, CRM, ASO/SEM, TV, print, and in-app messaging, collaborating closely with growth, marketing, and product teams to align content with business KPIs. I also coordinated and reviewed freelance translators to ensure linguistic quality and scalability. Previously at idealo, I led editorial strategy for the French market, developed style guides, managed on-site content and SEO initiatives, and worked cross-functionally with product and design teams. I’m a native French speaker, fluent in English, with conversational German, and a strong academic background in French linguistics and literature. I thrive in international, remote-friendly environments where language, UX, and technology meet. 💡 Particularly interested in roles involving: - Localization & global content strategy - SaaS / B2B / AI-powered products - Multilingual workflows & content operations - Human-centric, performance-driven content 📍 Based in Berlin · Open to remote & hybrid roles
