Maximiliano “Maxi” Granchelli has over 2 years of experience in language services. He started his career as a Junior Translation Project manager for several accounts and clients with different levels of complexity. Maxi has a strong background in excellent customer service that started with his sales role in a contact center serving an international client base.

Maxi’s passion for languages started when he mistakenly changed the Language settings on his VHS and watched The Lion King in English as an 8-year-old native Spanish speaker with no knowledge of the language whatsoever. Later, he had an opportunity to immerse himself in the US culture as an Exchange Student living in Cape Cod Massachusetts, where he also completed a short training in Medical Interpreting at Cape Cod Community College.

Maxi is currently a Translation Major at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba in Argentina as he serves as Cesco’s very own Talent Engagement Coordinator.

Pierina has been working in the translation and localization industry for more than 10 years. She graduated as a professional English-Spanish translator in Córdoba, Argentina, and started her career in this amazing industry working as a Translator, Editor, Proofreader, and Language Lead. Then, she moved to other roles within the industry, like Project Manager, Vendor Manager and Quality Manager. Having a varied experience wearing different hats and being part of different sized companies, Pierina gained a complete insight into how the industry works from different perspectives. After exploring all those roles, she decided to stay with project management because she considers it to be a constant challenge and learning opportunity. She thinks that as a PM you never get two days to be the same, and she loves that. She sees a normal working day as a big puzzle she must put together to make projects run smoothly and ensure good results for our clients.

Fun fact:

She considered herself to be a dog person until she fostered an abandoned and seriously sick kitten. She thought “when she is healthy and ready, I’m going to find a family for her”. Today, nine years later, she has adopted seven homeless cats already. In fact, she is now thinking she is missing a totally white cat, so who knows what the future will bring? She now considers herself to be an animal lover, and not a dog or cat person anymore. Pierina is also mother to two beautiful girls, Brunella and Bianca (and with regards to that, she thinks that two is more than enough haha). She has a big and diverse family she loves very much.

Favorite food:
