Global LT operates as a provider of language and cultural training, translation and interpretation services, and relocation support for corporate clients. The company was established in 1979 by Hortensia Albertini, a Cuban immigrant who leveraged her experience teaching Spanish to business executives into a home-based enterprise. Her personal journey, immigrating to the United States and identifying a need within the business community, directly shaped the company's foundation. The first major client was Ford Motor Co., a relationship that has been maintained over the decades. After Albertini's passing in 2013, her daughter, Lisette Poletes, assumed full ownership and the role of CEO, continuing the family's direction of the company. In 2014, the company received its first institutional investment from Vicente Capital Partners, which acquired a significant interest to help accelerate growth.
The firm's business model is centered on facilitating international assignments and developing global workforce talent for multinational corporations. It serves a diverse client base, including Fortune 1000 companies, across more than 90 industries. Revenue is generated by providing a suite of services that support employees and their families during international relocations. These services are delivered through a global network of over 15,000 teachers and specialists.
Global LT’s core offerings include customized language training, cross-cultural coaching, and expatriate destination services. Language programs are tailored to individual needs, employing a proficiency-based approach that can be delivered in various formats, including instructor-led lessons and e-learning modules. The cultural training programs are designed to provide practical skills and awareness beyond basic etiquette. Destination services assist with the logistical challenges of moving internationally, aiming to streamline the process for relocating families. The company also provides comprehensive translation and interpretation services, covering corporate documents, websites, and real-time interpretation for meetings and customer support calls.
