Alum '98 expands family's translation company
Luis R. de la Vega '98 has helped grow his family's 43-year-old Coral Gables-based translation company ProTranslating into a $20-million-per-year business with more than 300 full-time employees and 5,000 contractors worldwide providing services in more than 200 languages, the Miami Herald reported on Sept. 16.
After his graduation from RE in 1998, de la Vega earned his bachelor's in finance and international business from Georgetown, and MBA from the University of Miami. In 2005, he joined the company his father founded in 1973, eventually becoming chief executive officer.
His father, Luis A. de la Vega, who is fluent in nine languages, started his career as a simultaneous translator in the state court system. "This is a very complicated business," Luis R. de la Vega told the Herald. "You're dealing with grammar, syntax, flow, tone and voice, as well as different cultures and dialects."
