Michal Shinitzky (Born July 31st, 1975), is an Israeli linguist, business woman and entrepreneur. She founded and ran several Translation and Localization firms, and currently heads Pangea Translation Services, a global leader in this field.[1]

Life and career

Shinitzky was born in Rehovot, Israel, to Pinhas, an airline engineer and Shalhevet, an English teacher. Coming from a family of Jewish-Polish descent, Shinitzky had relatives across the globe, and early life travelling ignited her fascination for cultures and languages. Enlisting to the IDF at the age of 18, she became a programmer in one of the IDF’s elite units, and later on continued to a BA in East Asian languages and an MA in Cultural Studies, both from Tel-Aviv University.[2]

After university graduation, Shinitzky joined 888.com (Then Random-Logic) to expand a fledgling Localization department in Israel, before joining Pokerstars.com in London, to do a similar role for one the world’s largest gaming operators. Close to a decade later, she felt her experience will be better served by servicing entire industries and founded Pangea Localization services, choosing Limassol, Cyprus as its location.[1]


Personal life

Michal got married in June 2001 and has three kids.
