Account Executive

The Geo Group

Based in Madison, Wisconsin, The Geo Group Corporation was founded in 1991 as an advertising agency with extensive expertise in audio-video services. The company changed its focus to professional translation and interpreting services as a result of The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) passed in 1995, which increased the demand for translated information in the United States. Today, our company’s translator, linguist, and interpreter network encompasses over 60 countries. Global contractors communicate with the Madison, Wisconsin-based headquarters and sales offices in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis/St. Paul. We have achieved success by attracting new talent and committing to working with only the best professionals who are passionate about bringing real-world value to our corporate clients. Our company has a team of more than 700 professional translators, linguists, and interpreters who are native speakers of virtually every major language in the world. We continually grow our staff, comprised of translators, localization experts, audio/video/multimedia producers, desktop publishers, and project managers, allows us to exceed expectations and deliver our full-suite of language services every time. All this adds up to a translation company with unique and powerful capabilities, ready to help our diverse client base communicate to their expanding international audiences.
