Martine Smets

Senior International PM Manager

Microsoft

Originally from Belgium, Martine Smets has been working at Microsoft for over 17 years, first in machine translation (MT) development, then in customer support, more specifically localization of online customer-facing help content. In that position, she has leveraged different approaches to MT (rule-based, statistical and now neural) and data-based methods for determining what content should be localized professionally. Martine currently manages a team of content experience managers and localization project managers who are passionate about empowering customers to self-solve thanks to easily consumable solutions.
