Leadership Team

Elizabeth Compton started at LanguageLoop as CEO in February 2016 with a strong vision for language services. She’s since transformed the business―transitioning its traditional interpreting and translation services to include a fully digital experience leveraging the latest in AI, machine learning and natural language processing to offer a seamless end-to-end customer experience in any language across any channel. Elizabeth has scaled the business―increasing its reach, and doubling the company’s revenue over 4 years. Previously known as VITS (Victorian Interpreting Translation Service) this recent transformation has also included a rebrand to LanguageLoop, to recognise its national and expanding client base from local and federal government clients to key corporate clients including the Big 4 Banks and Tier 1 Energy and Utility clients.
