History in Localization
Larsen Globalization was founded in 2000 by Inger Larsen in London, UK. Coming from a background in localization, she - like many in this field – had a strong desire to add value to this industry in a unique way. By leveraging her strong relationships with professional colleagues, she gradually developed the well-respected firm that we know today.
Over time she added partners to the company. Early on she started working with Gretta FitzGerald in Dublin who worked in management at Lionbridge – the largest Language Services Provider in the industry. By 2006 Inger engaged with Denise Spacinsky in Boston to cover the Americas market and is now a Partner in the firm. Denise’s background was at HP in Localization and Globalization Strategy.
Together this group covers a worldwide market and can staff extensively to support the needs of clients.

“Inger is a consummate professional. She provides excellent client management support while delivering excellent candidates. One of the things I truly value about working with Inger is that she provides 2-3 exceptionally high calibre candidates and we always hire one of the 3.
