International Localization Strategy Consultant

Former Head of Localization at Shopify. Now I help companies build their first international strategy, and help LSPs understand what buyers really want.

Let's Talk

Who I Work With

I’ve spent 10+ years on both sides of the localization industry — running programs at scale and working with the vendors who make it possible. That dual perspective is what I bring to every engagement.

My Services

For Companies Going International

  • International strategy & roadmap — from “we need French for Canada” to actual scalable approach

  • Tech stack assessment & localization readiness

  • Market prioritization & foundations (multilingual SEO, QA, scalability, maintenance)

You're ready to expand beyond English, but not sure where to start (or your first attempt didn't work as planned)

  • North American market entry & positioning for LSPs expanding here

    Renato Beninatto, Nimdzi Insights

  • Giulia’s advice was a huge help in navigating the tricky world of French-Canadian legislation. She gave clear recommendations and asked the right questions—not only helping me shape our language strategy for Quebec, but also providing useful tools for regional assessment more broadly. Thanks for the sharp guidance!

    Ilona Pedersen, Monta

  • Hi Giulia, Oh God bless You 😊 that’s amazing! This is the first time someone is coming up with some more specific and most importantly, tangible guidelines on this level. This is unbelievably helpful.
