What We're Thankful for in 2019

The team at Lionbridge is grateful for another exciting year of breaking barriers and building bridges. We acquired Gengo and Gengo.ai, launched Lionbridge AI, were named one of America’s Best Employers by Forbes, and won an Employee Engagement Award from The Conference Board -- just to name a few.

At this busy time of year, we wanted to take the time to reflect on the things that stand out in our lives for which we’re truly grateful.

In honor of Thanksgiving in the U.S., we reached out to our global pride of Lions to see what they’re thankful for.

Here are a few things that the team at Lionbridge is thankful for this year:
