Conor Bracken
CEO
ORIGINALLY from Dublin, Ireland, Conor first came to Thailand in 1993 and fell in love with the country and became fluent in Thai. Like many newcomers, his first job was as an English teacher but when Internet and email came to Thailand he saw the opportunity to create a translation company using websites and email to connect clients and translators around the world while leveraging the lower costs of living here.
Lacking his own source of funding, he set up his first translation company as a minority shareholder in conjunction with the largest English language school at the time; and later joined forces with one of the largest “portals” during the dotcom heyday.

In 2006, he struck out on his own and with the backing of the Thai Board of Investment founded Andovar, a full-service translation and localization provider which handles not only all types of text translations, but also audio recording (with on-site recording studios), subtitling, desktop publishing and Flash engineering in all languages. Since then, the company has been growing at a steady pace with additional offices in Medellin (Colombia), Singapore, Miami, and this year a new production facility in Kolkata, India.
Conor is also a founding director of the Irish-Thai Chamber of Commerce.
