Bio
📝 Frédéric Wauters
When I started working as a content manager for Edebex, I suggested to rationalise the way we outsource translations. Thanks to prior experience at my own company, Ex Abrupto, I knew that Virtual Words had the capacity to absorb whatever volume we would throw at them, in as many languages as we need. And in whatever form : blog articles, powerpoint presentations, subtitling, you name it... And Valerie delivered, as she usually does. Not only does she provide us with top-notch translation work, she is also able to accommodate the occasional rush work and deliver within tight deadlines. Speaking of deadlines, this is also something I value with Valerie: she will never tell you something is possible when it's not. But once she commits to a deadline, you can be sure she will meet it. And this is priceless.

Work with Valérie has been a real pleasure. Very pro, she knew exactly what she needed and we do not waste time.
