Our CEO, Gabriel Fairman, Named a Top Industry Influencer
Every year, MultiLingual magazine recognizes leaders shaping the future of translation and localization.
This time, our CEO, Gabriel Fairman, made the list!
A Lifelong Connection to Language and Technology
For Gabriel Fairman, language has been a constant presence in both his personal and professional life.
Growing up speaking English, Spanish, and Portuguese gave him a diverse perspective on communication.
“It always made me feel like I had three different brains,” he reflects.
His interest in technology developed early.
Watching his mother transition from a typewriter to a word processor sparked his curiosity about how tools could enhance translation.
This curiosity eventually led to the founding of Bureau Works, a company focused on integrating automation, AI, and human expertise into localization processes.
Rethinking Industry Norms
Gabriel has built his career by questioning standard industry practices.
Rather than following existing trends, he examines their long-term impact and challenges their effectiveness.
- He views complexity as something to be understood and addressed rather than avoided.
- He advocates for a balance between automation and human expertise rather than fully replacing one with the other.
- He emphasizes transparency and ethical AI use, ensuring technology supports people rather than dictating their work.
As MultiLingual magazine notes, Gabriel is known for his ability to “embrace crisis, drive with strong passion, and remain level-headed.”
His approach encourages new ways of thinking and problem-solving in the localization space.
Recognition and Continued Efforts
For Gabriel, this recognition is not just about personal achievement but reflects the broader work being done at Bureau Works.
“The more I detach myself from extrinsic motivation, the more deeply connected I become with who I am, and the more pleasure I experience,” he says.
Bureau Works operates at the intersection of language and technology, bringing together professionals to address challenges in global content management.
While being featured in MultiLingual magazine highlights Gabriel’s influence in the field, his focus remains on ongoing industry development and innovation.
