Top Leadership Award for Lingo24 Managing Director

Christian Arno, Managing Director of Lingo24 Translation Services (http://www.lingo24.com/), was announced in a special supplement of this week’s Observer as one of the top 50 business leaders from the Science and Innovation economic sector. The award was the result of a selection process organised by Courvoisier in partnership with The Observer under the name “The Future 500”, including participants from 10 different economic sectors.

“We’ve come a long way in the past 6 years at Lingo24, and it’s so rewarding to get this type of recognition”, says Arno. The list of 50 business leaders from 10 different economic sectors published as “The future 500” establishes a definitive directory of the most successful and ambitious young leaders, the ones described as the “cream of the crop” in each business area.

Unlike traditional translation companies, Lingo24 is web-based and supports its top-quality services through the innovative use of new technology! With staff spread in eight countries worldwide and connected online, Lingo24 offers not only the quickest quotes but also translation project management services to customers around the clock. And staying connected with collaborators and clients 24 hours a day proved to be the key to setting up an impressive portfolio (http://www.lingo24.com/ourtrackrecord.html)!
“The Future 500” listing represents “the ultimate accolade for people who thrive on their professional success” and “a reference for anyone to see that the people on the list are passionate, determined and ambitious in life”, say the organisers from Courvoisier. Each of the selected leaders will be connected through a bespoke online network, thus having a chance to socialise and connect, as well as to develop future successes.
