ABOUT 
ALEXA TRANSLATIONS

In 2002, Gary Kalaci founded Alexa Translations to address the need for a new, premium-quality translation service. Before starting his own business, Gary worked in the legal and professional services industry, where translation was a regular need, but quality work was hard to come by: missed deadlines, impersonal service, and, most importantly, inconsistent quality. His experience highlighted a gap in the translation industry, and at that point, he knew leaders in business would benefit from Alexa Translations’ new approach: client-dedicated project management combined with sector-specific translation expertise.

INNOVATION

The Alexa Translations team is made up of innovative thinkers who are continually curious. We ask the right questions and challenge the status quo. We aren’t afraid to be audacious and optimistic because we aren’t afraid to fail. We are forever learning and open-minded to new ideas and approaches.

DEDICATED

Alexa Translations consists of dedicated experts that are professional and reliable. We know our job and we do it well. We are leaders in our respective fields and we are experts at sharing that knowledge. While we are always ambitious and solution-driven, we don’t allow ego or arrogance to cloud our judgement.

FANATICAL

We take attention to detail to an entirely different level. The Alexa Translations team has a fanatical commitment to service and quality. We consider the entire client experience, not just one aspect or interaction and we exceed expectations every step of the way. We do this by being good listeners and acutely understanding client needs and wants.

RESOURCEFUL

The Alexa Translations team is a group of resourceful self-starters. We hit the ground running, without the need for hand-holding. We are self-taught and always open to learning new things. Our mentality is one that seeks and proposes solutions versus problems. Lastly, we are all proactive and do our best to ensure we are proactive and prepared for whatever the future may bring.

COLLABORATIVE

Our team works smarter being collaborative and that means creating collaborative environments. That’s why we welcome constructive and respectful disagreements and why we seek out benefits for all parties wherever possible to lift all boats. We know that requires clear communication and that often means communicating it seven times for it to really stick. We also don’t wait for collaboration, we invite it whenever possible because we know the benefits it can bring.
