A Bold Vision,
A Shared Passion

BabelBond was born from a vision shared by two professionals who understand the stakes in global communication. Laura May, a finance expert with a love for languages, and Christopher Thorne, a technology innovator fascinated by bridging cultures, both saw firsthand how the right words could build relationships and open doors. Yet, they also saw the barriers—the struggle to find partners who understood their industries with the same passion and precision.

Refusing to settle, they took a leap to build something new. With BabelBond, Laura and Christopher set out to create a company that would go beyond translations. They envisioned a partner for clients, one who would understand the unique demands of finance and law, and deliver solutions that are precise, culturally attuned, and always aligned with high-stakes needs.
