Piedmont Global is a Strategic Globalization Organization (SGO) founded in 2013. The company helps enterprises and public sector clients operate across cultures and languages through interpretation, translation, localization, language training, staffing, BPO and KPO, data services, content solutions, consulting and Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT). Its interpretation offering covers on-site, video remote and over-the-phone delivery in more than 300 languages and regional dialects, alongside American Sign Language (ASL) and other accessibility services.
The firm works with clients in government, healthcare, legal, education, technology, nonprofit and commercial sectors. It is ranked among the top 50 global language service providers by CSA, Slator and Nimdzi, and has been named to the Inc. 5000 fastest growing companies list for three consecutive years. Growth has come from both strategic acquisitions and organic expansion.
Operations are backed by four ISO certifications: ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 17100:2015 and ISO 13845:2016. Piedmont Global maintains four offices, in Arlington, Virginia (headquarters), Minneapolis, Minnesota, Spokane, Washington and Nairobi, Kenya, and delivers services to clients worldwide through a network of language professionals.
The company was founded by Mohamed Hussein, a first-generation Somali American entrepreneur, as a one-person language interpretation operation. It has since expanded its remit to cover staffing, data, content and intelligence services while retaining a focus on cross-cultural competence and quality and security standards.
