In  this episode, Paul talks with Liz Elting ’87. While in business school at NYU, Liz founded TransPerfect, a global languages solutions company. That was in 1992. In the past three decades, the company has grown to over 5,000 employees in 90 countries with $700 million in annual revenue. In 2018 she sold her stake to her co-founder. For several years before that, she was featured on lists of the wealthiest self-made women in America. Since the sale, Liz has turned her attention to philanthropy.
Listen in as Liz walks us through how she built a premier language services  company at a moment when the growth of the internet and globalization of business created a demand for what TransPerfect was delivering: top-notch end-to-end language technologies and services. It’s a future that Liz could never have imagined for herself as a  student at Trinity who struggled to decide whether her love of languages made for a practical major.
