Here is a just a glimpse of Geo network:
Emilie Lefeuvre (founder of Geo)
After a Masters in Translation and a year travelling the US as part of a sales force team, Emilie spent several years in the marketing department of a large real estate firm. Her passion for languages, taste for travel and digital inclinations lead her back to the field of translation. A talented team builder, the past seven years have been mostly devoted to project management. Nevertheless, translation and copywriting are still a big part of her life. So much so that in early 2018 she published her first book for children.

With a BA (Hons) in European Business Studies, she moved to France in 1994. After obtaining a Master’s degree in Technical Translation, she started up her freelance translation business in 2012. Today, she is notably specialized in the naval construction, helicopters, and luxury tourism fields. She is also a professional trainer in the creation and development of freelance businesses, and a “Get Clients Now!” certified facilitator. Finally, Kathryn is a member of the Board of Directors of the Fédération des Auto-Entrepreneurs.

Settled back in Italy in the Lake Maggiore area, while working part-time in the sales office of a factory automation company, she started her venture in the translation world, specialising in travel and hospitality content. She is now a full-time freelance translator and editor and also engages in project management for editorial content.
