After other adventures in the area of Language Services, William Hartley created his company Certling.

Certling is reshaping the way you access certified translations for your study, work, and immigration needs.

Gone are the days of lengthy processes and high costs. With Certling, it's as simple as a few clicks to get your certified translation. The platform streamlines the entire experience, from instant quotes to rapid delivery. No more waiting weeks for essential documents.

According to Mathijs Sonnemans, his job is to make people happy by building awesome products:

What’s the value of innovation if no one can access or truly benefit from it? After studying computer science and philosophy, and spending years developing software, I’ve learned that "coding" is the easy part. The real magic happens when you turn that code into a product that genuinely helps people, excites them, and is supported by a sustainable business.

Language technology is where I’ve found my home. It’s a field that brings together the subtlety of human communication with the precision of tech—something that’s far from easy. I’ve become an expert in this space, and my mission is clear: to make language technology more powerful, intuitive, and accessible, so it can keep making a positive impact.

As a woman in the Language Business myself, I feel it’s very important to showcase the work other fellow women who have been forging the path for present and future generations of girls to understand how powerful they are.

I thought it would great to have two women who have their own companies to share their experience and also the ins and outs of their specific fields – Life Sciences and Fashion/Beauty.
