Leadership & Experience
Communication Conundrum is a female- and minority-owned business.Melissa Centazzo, CSPO
I have over 30 years of corporate experience working for such technology companies as CME Group, Motorola, XAPT, BP, and for the European publishing giant Reed Elsevier. Start-up companies include Endeavor Information Systems, optionMonster, SAVO Group, and more.
I have been a management professional with a persistent, yet adaptable, vision for all aspects of global communication. My expertise lies in championing and implementing best practices for technical content, localization, e-learning/training, and UX (globalization).
I attended the Pennsylvania State University (where I studied Modern Foreign Languages (Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese)), the University of Pittsburgh (where I continued studying languages with an emphasis on Modern Foreign Language Business and Technical Translation). I received my degree from Columbia College of Chicago in Film/Video.
