I joined the content localization team to help drive the simplification and unification of the continuous publishing process for localized content on http://windows.microsoft.com and as a result managed to cut full-time localization PM resources in this area in half. In addition I drove the machine translation strategy for content localization, implementing MT with post-editing as the default translation mode for all content loc projects. I also took ownership of Microsoft account web service localization and lead the transition from using software to content localization best practices, tools and processes, implementing agile project management techniques where possible.
