Ilari, Marina

Marina Ilari, CEO of Terra Translations, a global translation and localization company that helps businesses communicate effectively in a variety of different languages. In 2017, Terra Translations received the Women Owned Business Enterprise Rising Star Award presented by Governor Scott Walker and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to a burgeoning business with great promise. And in 2019, the firm was ranked as one of the Top 5 Translation Companies in Latin America by Common Sense Advisory.

Ilari holds a degree in Literary Translation and is certified by the American Translators Association. She has over 15 years of experience in the translation industry and is an expert in translation technology and managing translation projects.

Ilari is originally from Argentina and was raised in a small rural town in the province of Santa Fe. Daughter of two entrepreneurial parents, from an early age she expressed a passion for languages and cultures. She was enamored by the translation industry through the work of her mother, who holds a PhD in Modern Languages. Ilari credits her parents, especially her mother, for instilling a strong foundational work ethic and being ever-present mentors, thus cultivating her personal and professional acumen, perseverance, and success.

In 2009 Ilari relocated to Wisconsin. Upon her arrival to the States, she leaned heavily on professional associations and organizations to establish a network of support and a client base. These professional roots continue to encourage Ilari to give back and to help cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit in new business owners, especially women and girls. Ilari became a US-citizen in 2016.
