Smartling’s Conny Hayes started working in the industry before localization was popularized as a dicipline. She knows her stuff.
Conny sits down with us on this episode of The Loc Show to give our listeners a special inside peek into how she came to be our fantastic Director & Team Lead of Solution Consulting.

We can’t wait for you to hear her awesome story.
