Who we are

A pragmatist but also a dreamer. Sun and sea are a feature of her outgoing personality, mixed with a leaning towards perfection and getting things done to the highest standards. Sandra is the backbone and a driving force in LingoSpell. With a Master’s in Translation from Bari University in her backpack, she has roamed the Mediterranean, spending some wonderful years in Malta, her happy place. She puts the same dedication and attention into Project Management as she does into her organic tomato plants that she tends to meticulously on the balcony. In her leisure time, she enjoys planning vacations in Europe, but you may also find her checking out casinos - for professional reasons, of course …

A big fan of everything Apple (sorry Mr Gates), Dario always wanted to launch his own business from scratch. He did not start out in the family garage like his role model, but he did see a juicy apple opportunity on the horizon in the translation business. So, that’s how he got to take the helm of LingoSpell. Can you imagine how much care and attention goes into a beard like Dario’s? Well, he puts the same dedication into managing LingoSpell. Billing, agreements and NDAs all fall under his meticulous eye or, rather, across his Mac screen. When he is not in the driving seat at LingoSpell, then you will probably find him behind the wheel of his car (the Tesla is still on the wish list), perhaps on his way to his adored Dolomites.

A realist but with a compelling need to express her creative soul. After gaining a Master’s in International Sciences at Forlì university, Beatrice had an epiphany moment, discovering that there was a limitless world that went beyond the confines of physical State borders and geopolitics: the web. She launched her career as a Web Content Writer until her path crossed LingoSpell’s and she happily moved into Project Management. If she could abandon her PC and laptop (Microsoft, this time) she would retire to a more secluded life in some wonderful woodland place with a horde of shelter dogs or would become the lead drummer in a rock band. But this is another story, perhaps a tale she could tell in one of the stories she writes (but keeps under lock and key in her drawer!).

Born and bred in Milan, Chiara graduated in foreign languages and literature from the University of Milan, convinced she wanted to be a translator. But as everyone knows, sometimes destiny gets in the way and she came across LingoSpell almost by chance: with her strong passion for tiny, feline friends, when she began using CAT tools, she realised that becoming a Project Manager was the purrfect job for her. Her extraordinary precision and impressive organisational skills are her strong points, and she puts them to good use, both in the office and when she decides to swap her desk for the cooker and make one of her culinary delights, especially her amazing cakes. Seaside or mountains, Scotland or Greece: for Chiara anything goes. As long as she gets to travel and explore exciting new paths, at work but also on the saddle of her beloved bike.

With her heart rooted between Rome and Sicily, Simona first came to LingoSpell after taking some time out to explore Europe. First in Germany, and then in Scotland,
she relished all the opportunities that came her way to experience scenery and lifestyles that differ greatly from those of her beloved Palermo,
and to pursue her passion for travel, languages and other cultures to the full.
The same passion that urges her to seek out an icy location in the middle of winter, visit a warm seaside resort, trek for miles or lie back, relax, and soak in the sea.
Simona has many passions. Top of the list is Project Management and no,
we’re not joking! She really loves her job…! Then come music, concerts and,
only recently, roller skating. After all, life is just one long journey where everything evolves.
The trick is to juggle your deadlines and tackle new beginnings with courage
and determination, just like in Project Management! And Simona has all this - and more- down pat.
