Bio
As a business owner, you realize the huge potentials and rewards that await your brand overseas. But translating ALL your content into another language can become a costly headache.

The good news? There is another way.

My name is Katrin Rippel Galati, and I'll show you how to maximize your potential in the German market – without blowing your entire marketing budget on translation services.

With the right brand strategy, you can make each German customer feel cherished in a personal way.

I demystify the process, helping you create an international strategy that fits your business needs and current capacity can-dos.

I also show you how to connect to the German audience, whether you speak the language or not, so you sell your products and services overseas.

For the last 10 years, my translation and web services firm has brought technical, linguistic and strategic skills to clients across the international market.

My personal hunger for new experiences (plus a background in international food & hospitality) allowed me to live in various different cultures and countries.

Now I'm bringing it all together as your German language specialist and consultant. Together, we'll make doing international business inspirational and exciting.
