Johan Lourens

Localisation Product Manager

Games Global

Johan Lourens’s educational journey started off with a BS degree in computer systems from the University of Heriot-Watt. He began as a release engineer but his career took an unexpected turn when during a company restructure he became a localization engineer. It was during this time that Johan stumbled upon his true calling – the fascinating world of localization. Three years into his career, Johan made a deliberate and transformative decision to fully commit himself to the realm of localization. His dedication and expertise eventually led to his appointment as the sole translations coordinator for the rapidly growing global company. Today, he oversees a flourishing team, which comprises both an operations division and a development team and that delivers translations and localization services to over 40+ studios.
