About the Client SIG
GALA’s Client SIG is a collaborative forum for professionals focused on localization and multilingual communications within global enterprises. Here, they can freely share knowledge and learn from each other's experiences. Meetings feature expert guests and discussions unique to internal departments, such as in-house evangelization, adapting new technology, and process innovation.
The group is moderated by Agnes Schöndorni-Schönner (GoTo Technologies), Julia Carrasco (Coupa), and Pia Bresnan (Uber).
GALA Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are global communities that connect members on topics of shared interest led by volunteer moderators.
Host organization: Globalization and Localization Association

Agnes Schöndorni-Schönner
GoTo Technologies Germany GmbH
Fuelled by a passion for connecting people and products across languages and cultures, Agnes thrives where technology and creativity intersect. With over a decade at GoTo (former LogMeIn), she started as a localization leader at a fast-growing startup and helped scale global efforts across UI, marketing, and documentation. Her role has evolved alongside the company, taking her across borders and into a global team where she now oversees web and marketing localization, with a focus on international SEO and driving major tech initiatives. Prior to GoTo, Agnes honed her expertise with 10 years on the LSP front, mastering the entire localization cycle – marketing translations, editing, project management, vendor management, and terminology. This extensive foundation helps her shape a holistic view on how people and technology work together.
