NEW YORK, May 26, 2020 – TransPerfect, the world’s largest provider of language and technology solutions for global business, today announced that Jin Lee, Senior Vice President of Global Production, has joined the CFES Brilliant Pathways Board of Trustees.

The organization prides itself on mentoring, fostering essential life skills, and building real-world pathways to careers, which are customized for each school served.
