Faces of the continuity

Leadership that has run the studio floor for decades — and still signs every delivery.
Eliane Barth
Arrived as Production Director, gave JBI its technical edge and opened the digital studios in 1996. BA in Physics & Mathematics (University of Paris), computer engineering (EPF).
Stacy
Formerly an in-house translator, she joined in 2011 as a project manager and now leads production and the development of internal processes.
Eric
Eric's first job in this industry was a JBI internship, back in 1998. In the decades since, he founded companies in music, voice, and education technology, and spent thirty years architecting cloud infrastructure for clients from early-stage startups to global enterprises. Now back where he started — as director of technology — he builds the AI and automation pipelines that let JBI's human expertise move faster.
