Our Story

Founded in 1990 by Philip Auerbach, Auerbach International began with a simple but powerful mission: to use language to connect cultures and unlock business opportunities worldwide.

Philip’s passion for languages — having studied eight languages and visited or lived in over 55 countries — inspired him to create a company that would go beyond word-for-word translation to deliver true cultural adaptation.

From its San Francisco Bay Area headquarters, Auerbach International has become a trusted partner for Fortune 100 companies, law firms, nonprofits, government agencies, and businesses across every industry. Today, we provide professional translation and interpretation services in 120+ languages, having translated over 2 billion words throughout our history.

Our longevity speaks to our commitment: we don’t chase trends or cut corners. We invest in expert linguists, rigorous quality processes, and long-term client relationships built on trust, precision, and confidentiality.

Philip Auerbach

Philip Auerbach, founder and President of Auerbach International

Founder & President

In his early career, Philip Auerbach was an Associate Editor and then Director of Product Management at Auerbach Publishers, a former family-owned firm in New Jersey; Marketing Director at Bophuthatswana Management Services in southern Africa; New Business Development Manager at Springhouse Corporation in Pennsylvania; and Director of Medical / Healthcare Research at Market Intelligence Research Company (now Frost & Sullivan) in California. He has been President and Marketing Director of Auerbach International since 1990, always focusing on ways to make clients shine.

In these and other capacities, Mr. Auerbach has marketed products ranging from videos to software; edited, designed and marketed publications, databases as well as varied non-profit and for-profit services; and has taught many courses to American and international business executives, both in the US and abroad.

Among his major business accomplishments, Mr. Auerbach managed the turnaround of an unprofitable publishing operation to generate over $1 million in new revenue in just one year; conducted market research, designed and implemented business plans, and formulated financial strategies to generate $5 million in sales in untapped business niches; negotiated licensing agreements both in Japan and the US; organized and directed over 25 US and global product launches and presentations in the US, Europe, Africa and Japan; and has written over 200 promotional brochures and articles for US and overseas markets, localizing these and other programs for both developed and developing countries.

Mr. Auerbach earned an International MBA degree with a specialization in Marketing from The Thunderbird School of Global Management in 1981 and earned his Bachelor’s degree in Japanese Studies at Earlham College, Indiana, in 1975. He also studied at Institut Catholique in Paris, Waseda University in Tokyo, and East China Normal University in Shanghai. He was also an Adjunct Professor teaching Translations Project Management at the Monterey Institute for International Studies (now the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey).

In early 2018, he launched the Auerbach Global-Impact Foundation, and since 2013 has been a frequent participant at CEO Space, the nation’s foremost business conference.

During “off hours,” he has been a volunteer high school tutor, committee and Board member of a no-interest loan society, and leader for over 15 years of a monthly interfaith dialog group (Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus and others). Favorite activities include reading; movies; countryside hikes; horse riding; bike riding; attending plays, operas and concerts; and enjoying dinners with one or two friends at a time.
