About

More about Thomas

Thomas started out as a simultaneous interpreter at the IMF, working from Spanish, French and German into English. From there he moved into enterprise sales of medical technology at Brainlab, across twelve European countries, and then into industrial measurement instruments at Hioki.

In 2019 he founded Berba, a translation marketplace he built hands-on and ran as CEO for five years, growing it to a team of 25 and more than 300 clients. He then spent 2024 and 2025 in Senior Growth & Strategy at re:cap, a financial-intelligence SaaS, driving product expansion and growth as it moved into institutional clients.

Today he works full-time on Odysi, from Madrid, and runs our business development and delivery. He also writes most of the guides on this site. He works in English and Spanish, both native, and also in German, French and Basque.

How it works

Working with Thomas

Step 01

Write or book

A short call or a message, whichever suits you. We ask a few quick questions, then point you to the right next step. We won’t pitch you.

Step 02

A first call, free

The first conversation costs nothing and is specific: we tell you plainly whether there is a project worth doing. If the volume is too low for AI to pay for itself, we say so.

Step 03

Start with one process

After the call we send a written proposal with the price and the assumptions behind it. We start with one process, then hand it back to your people to run.

If one task takes hours of someone’s week, tell Thomas about it.
