Managing Director
Managing Director
I became Managing Director of First Edition in February 2016, and I also serve as a Director and Chief Executive of First Edition’s parent company, Cintra. First Edition is a special business, with a wonderful reputation for quality gained through earning the trust of our many loyal and long standing clients, and it is my job to ensure that First Edition continues to provide an excellent and highly reliable service in the future.
I live in Cambridge, with my wife and son, and apart from a love of travel (often to Austria, where my family is originally from), I’m regularly found cheering on my beloved Cambridge United at the Abbey Stadium or enjoying many of the other wonderful things Cambridge has to offer.

General Manager / Head of Client Relations
I am from Brazil and moved to the UK because of the weather (yes, really) and the food (no, seriously).
I joined First Edition in 2004 and since 2020 I am the team’s Overlord (actual title: General Manager / Head of Client Relations).
I am passionate about Netflix, reading, writing, travelling, cooking vegan food, and being there for my team and our clients.
Editorial Translations Manager
Editorial Translations Manager
I was excited to join the editorial team at First Edition in February 2016 after 5 years working for the bookings and translations teams at parent company Cintra.
Studying German and Italian at the University of St Andrews I was lucky enough to live in Hanover, Milan, Berlin and London, landing in Cambridge in 2011.
I’m a founder member of improvised theatre group Riot at the Bus Stop and also regularly write, direct and perform for Cambridge’s buzzing theatre scene.
Commercial Project Manager
Commercial Project Manager
I am originally from Hungary and I have been living in the UK for over 14 years now.
I have recently joined First Edition with over 7 years' experience in the localization industry. I am working on commercial projects and I love the technical challenges offered by these projects.
I'm passionate about dancing, music, nature and animals and also love to spend a lot of time outdoors with my dog as long as it's not raining. I also do some volunteering for a homeless charity in my spare time and enjoy some studying and reading.

After completing a BA in English Studies and a MA in Conference Interpreting in Bulgaria, I relocated to the UK where I joined our parent company Cintra in 2012, looking after a number of our public and private sector translation clients.
As a linguistic and technology geek, I currently handle most of First Edition’s technical and scientific translation projects and explore how translation technology can help us and our clients keep up with the changing times.
In my free time I enjoy travel, reading, films, music, food and a good glass of wine (or ale!).

Editorial Project Manager
When I finished my MA in English, German and Art History in 2003, all I wanted to do was move to England.
My path led me to First Edition in 2008, where I now look after most of our German language projects in the Editorial Department, which range from cookery books to children’s titles to art historical publications.
I like getting really involved with my projects and am always interested in tackling challenging linguistic situations. I literally could not live without music, and I love reading, translating, working out, watching films and playing with my little daughter Matilda.

I have a degree in Arabic and Politics and spent five years working for a leading international Arabic newspaper. When I moved to Cambridge, I joined First Edition for my first stint in editorial. I also have a Masters in Theory and Practice of Translation and have run my own Arabic-English-Arabic translation business. I lived in Egypt and have travelled extensively across the Middle East and North Africa.
I am back for round two at First Edition and look forward to working on some exciting projects!
In my free time (whatever that is!) I enjoy being with my three children. When they let me, I like to read a book or two!

I am French by birth, but spent time in the US and Scotland before moving to Cambridge a few years ago.
My background is in English as a foreign language and theoretical linguistics. I worked as a language teacher and lexicographer before joining First Edition in 2013 where I have been coordinating editorial projects.
I enjoy cooking, walking, and most importantly, spending time with my kids!
