Meet the Pride: Belinda Hilbert

In this installation of our Meet the Pride Series, meet Belinda H., Lionbridge Enterprise Sales Director. Belinda loves Portland, where she lives, and has a deep passion for the localization industry. She’s especially interested in the ways localization and AI can help healthcare providers achieve higher rates of health equity. Read more in our blog. Tell us about your role at Lionbridge. I joined Lionbridge in February 2025 as part of the OPI team. My primary focus is selling into the Healthcare sector. I’m very excited to be part of such a reputable and established Language Services Provider (LSP). I’m also thrilled to help highlight Lionbridge’s dedication to language access and health equity. What do you enjoy most about your role?    For most of my career, I worked in operations (project and program management). I still feel very fondly about Ops, but I LOVE sales. I’m a naturally extroverted person and find a lot of gratification in understanding a client’s needs — then totally exceeding them. My favorite question to ask is, “What could Lionbridge do to impress you?” How long have you been at Lionbridge? I haven’t been here long at all (about 4 months). My career in language services began almost 15 years ago, but I’ve always known Lionbridge from the outside. One of the main reasons I wanted to join this organization is because I knew Lionbridge had a very mature approach to AI services. I’m so pleased to extend those services to clients in Healthcare and support them in their exploration and education about this emerging technology. It’s clear that AI services improve traditional language services and can open up new and innovative paths. These advances will undoubtedly result in better patient experience and improved health outcomes. What excites you the most about the industry you work in?    Over the last decade and a half in language services, I’ve touched nearly every sector and industry. I sometimes feel like I’ve earned an MBA without actually completing the degree because I’ve learned so much about global business and how enterprises operate. Of all the sectors I’ve supported, my heart lies in healthcare. Supporting diverse communities domestically is deeply important to me. The positive impact of providing language access is gratifying, and I feel that I’m making a real difference in patients’ lives. Perhaps it’s helping an organization find reliable support for a rare language or alleviating the burden of interpretation from bilingual staff. Everything drives toward deeper community health access and better patient outcomes. What, in your opinion, makes your field special? I love the ‘bridge’ that Lionbridge (and all language professionals) create. The language industry is inherently diverse and inclusive. It also serves as a reminder that we’re all connected, regardless of the language we speak or where we reside. I often say working in localization means I have friends on every continent. It’s a bit of an exaggeration (I don’t know anyone in Antarctica). But I do feel privileged to work in an industry that truly spans the globe. Where do you live, and what do you enjoy most about it? I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon, in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. There are so many things I love about this area: the trees, the year-round hiking, the Cascade Mountains, the wild Pacific Ocean, and the relaxed attitude. (You can go to a really nice dinner in flip-flops, and no one bats an eye.) Most importantly, I love the tangible sense of community. I also love the localization and language community here in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Like our older sibling cities (Seattle and the Bay Area), Portland has a great network of localization professionals. I’ve been a Loc Lunch ambassador, and I’m currently working closely with Portland State University to drive deeper connections between private companies and the university’s World Language and Literature department. If you’re local to Portland and want to help students get their start in our amazing industry, let’s connect! What is the coolest language task you’ve participated in? During COVID, I was directly involved in several projects that empowered healthcare organizations to share critical information across multilingual populations. The work was intensely time-sensitive and dynamic. Sometimes, it changed within the week! But we came together to ensure communities were informed and reassured. I’m so proud of the way everyone pulled together to get the job done and play their part in keeping everyone healthy and safe. Any thoughts about AI and the localization industry? AI is undoubtedly changing the language industry and every industry we support. I believe it’s a privilege to be part of that evolution. I take my role in responsible use, elimination of bias, and ethical deployment very seriously. One of the reasons I’m so glad to join the Pride is because there’s a clear strategy around AI coupled with the scale of resources to deploy. It’s truly amazing to see AI solve some of the historical challenges enterprises have struggled with. I’m in awe of the innovative ways internal teams use AI at Lionbridge. I know we’ve only scratched surface of the use case glacier. Fill out our contact form to start a conversation with us.

'Space chocolate,' mango nectar and pierogis: Here are the international foods the private Ax-4 astronauts are flying to the ISS

The next astronaut mission to the International Space Station (ISS) will have a very international flavor — literally. That flight — known as Ax-4, because it's the fourth crewed trip to the ISS by Houston company Axiom Space — lifted off on Wednesday morning (June 11) atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Florida's Space Coast. Ax-4 is carrying four people from four different nations to the orbiting lab, so the mission's larder is quite diverse. For example, Ax-4 pilot Shubhanshu Shukla is bringing up some delicacies from his native India, including a variety of sweets. During a press conference on June 3, Shukla said he's carrying mango nectar to the orbiting lab, as well as moong dal halwa and carrot halwa. (Halwa is a sweet dish made by roasting lentils, wheat or flour in ghee, then boiling that mixture in sugary milk.) "Some of them are my favorites, and I am so happy to be able to carry them, share it with my colleagues and also the astronauts who are on the station right now," Shukla said. Ax-4 mission specialist Tibor Kapu of Hungary said he has packed some "space chocolate," which was provided by Stuhmer, a company from his native land. "They modified one of their traditional models of chocolate, basically to comply with NASA rules," Kapu said during the press conference. "So we are extremely happy to fly that, because for us it, it brings tradition and innovation together." Also going up are several spicy, paprika-like Hungarian pastes, he added. "I'm extremely happy about those as well, because we tend to eat less salty foods on the International Space Station, because it actually contributes to bone loss," Kapu said. "So, because of that, astronauts tend to like, you know, spicy, and those [pastes] are really spicy," he added. "We had also the chance to try this out in quarantine. And let me just tell you, we have so many coworkers here who found these excellent, and they just love it." Fellow mission specialist Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski of Poland, a European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut, put together an entire menu for Ax-4. Polish chef and restaurateur Mateusz Gessler helped in this endeavor, as did Lyofood, a family-run Polish company with freeze-drying expertise. That menu features pierogi, the famous Polish stuffed dumplings, as well as "tomato soup with noodles, Polish 'leczo' stew with buckwheat, and apple crumble for dessert," ESA officials said in a statement. "I wanted a truly Polish menu that I could share with my fellow astronauts," Uznański-Wiśniewski said in the same statement. "Food brings psychological comfort, and I instantly thought it would be worth taking some Polish delicacies into orbit." The fourth Ax-4 crewmember is commander Peggy Whitson, a record-setting former NASA astronaut who currently serves as Axiom's director of human spaceflight. She didn't discuss her food choices during the June 3 press conference (though she did seem enthusiastic about Kapu's spicy Hungarian pastes). Ax-4 is historic; it will mark the first time that anyone from India, Hungary or Poland has lived on board the ISS. The mission is flying to the orbiting lab in a brand-new SpaceX Dragon and will spend about two weeks up there, during which time the crew will conduct about 60 different scientific experiments.

US set new record with 21 commercial launches in June, FAA says

Private spaceflight continues its upward trajectory. American companies launched 21 commercial space missions in June 2025, which was a new record for a single month, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The old record of 20 was set in November 2024. "Operations during the record month include 21 launches conducted by four operators: Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, SpaceX and United Launch Alliance," FAA officials said in an emailed statement. "These occurred in California, Florida, Texas and New Zealand, and involved orbital, suborbital and commercial human spaceflight missions," they added. (California-based Rocket Lab's primary launch site is on New Zealand's North Island.) SpaceX was by far the busiest of the four operators, launching 15 of the month's 21 missions. Twelve of those 15 flights were devoted to building out the company's Starlink broadband megaconstellation in low Earth orbit. June continued a very active 2025 for SpaceX, which has launched 81 missions so far this year. The company is therefore on pace to break its single-year record of 134 orbital liftoffs, which was set in 2024. (Those numbers don't count the suborbital test flights of SpaceX's new Starship megarocket, which launched four times in 2024 and has flown three times so far this year.) SpaceX was also responsible for one of June's two human spaceflight missions — Ax-4, which sent four private astronauts toward the International Space Station on June 25. The month's other crewed mission was NS-33, a suborbital tourist flight by Blue Origin that launched and landed on June 29.

How Tariffs Hit Business Aircraft Sales and Financing

The new or threatened tariffs announced by the Trump Administration and other countries may cost more than you realize when buying and financing private aircraft. The on-again, off-again U.S. tariff activity has roiled the U.S. financial markets, triggered retaliatory tariffs, alarmed aircraft stakeholders, and created wide uncertainty in global trade. The Trump Administration has imposed, modified, and/or delayed the imposition of tariffs on specific countries to achieve certain foreign policy and economic goals. To stop massive shipments of fentanyl into the U.S., the Administration has imposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada and a 20 percent tariff on Chinese-origin goods to make U.S.-origin products more price competitive with cheaper non-U.S. origin metal sellers. This tariff may affect the metals used by aircraft manufacturers (OEMs), repair facilities, and their suppliers. Transacting Steps and Process Purchasing an aircraft without addressing tariffs is not an option. It is imperative to rely on customs brokers, lawyers and other import/export experts in deal teams to conduct a real-time analysis of potential tariffs, including direct and retaliatory tariffs from the U.S., Canada, or Mexico. Their objectives should include determining the application, percentage, and effective dates of the tariffs on the aircraft being purchased. Second, they should calculate the tariff based on the purchase price if tariffs apply. The analysis should consider such tariff-based factors as the country of origin or transformation of an aircraft or specific product codes under the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS). HTSUS is the primary resource for identifying tariff rates on aircraft imported into the United States. Third, they should try to structure the importation timing and terms to minimize the tariff cost. As a byproduct of tariffs, the parties should brace for higher transaction costs and processing delays from the pre-tariff duty-free norm. The deal team will also negotiate purchase or financing documentation and interact with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials. Complex Tests To Determine Tariffs The complexity of tariffs cannot be overstated. Adding to the legal and customs quagmire, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) provides a very complicated certification process as to the country of origin of products. Based on current policy, the USMCA seems to allow duty-free imports of aircraft. However, that exemption may end on April 2, 2025. The certification for duty-free treatment applies to repairs and products like aircraft tires, seats, components, and parts. As a technical point, to determine whether a Canadian or Mexican origin good qualifies for duty-free treatment, import experts should analyze the product-specific rules of origin under the USMCA. This generally means the experts either apply a “tariff shift test” (change in product, like from steel to an aircraft hull, to use the right tariff) or a “regional value content” test (to calculate a product’s origin value in a producer’s region or country such as finding a 35 percent Canada origin of an engine). Tariffs Defined A tariff is a tax or duty imposed by a government on imported or exported goods. U.S. tariffs aim to prop up local industries, including steel companies, by increasing the price of imports. Tariffs may also lower the U.S. trade deficit and generate revenue for the U.S. Among four types of tariffs, the one that most often applies to aircraft is an ad valorem tariff or duty. An ad valorum tariff or duty refers to a customs duty calculated as a percentage of the value of the product such as a new or used aircraft, or its engines, parts or components using the HTSUS. The U.S. tariff is based on the country of origin where the product is manufactured or substantially transformed. It is not relevant for tariffs where the aircraft is based or stored, the aircraft’s delivery location, the nationality of a seller or purchaser, or the country where the aircraft has been registered. For example, substantial transformation seems to occur when a product, like aircraft components from outside Canada, undergo a fundamental change in form, appearance, nature, or character to be fully integrated into an inseparable part of an aircraft built in Canada. At a high level without detailed facts, Canada should be the country of origin for tariff purposes. Tariff Impact on the Sale of New and Used Aircraft If anyone plans to physically import an aircraft or aircraft engines, parts or components into the U.S. for sale, repair, overhaul or upgrades, the deal team should conduct a product tariff analysis. Back-to-back aircraft transactions may be subject to a double down on tariffs—one on the transfer to the intermediary and another tariff on the sale to the ultimate buyer. There is no free lunch from tariffs. OEMs, purchasers, sellers, customs brokers, product suppliers, and others may incur directly or indirectly the tariff costs of U.S. and counter-tariffs. In other words, consumers, businesses, and exporters, among others, pay tariff costs. In aircraft deals, repair facilities, purchasers, and sellers (including OEMs) should assess product origin tariff exposure and develop tariff cost minimization or tariff cost-sharing strategies. Until tariff guidance shows up in useful written form (and probably after that), the tariffs may slow the importing and exporting of affected aircraft into and out of the U.S., complicate the supply chain for maintenance, repair, and sales, and alter the trajectory of marketing new products and services. Tariff Impact on Aircraft Purchases Absent an exemption from the tariffs or structural solution transactionally, it is likely that the tariffs will materially increase used (and new) aircraft purchase prices, potentially to an intolerable level for a purchaser. That could kill the transaction at inception or cause a transaction to terminate due to a purchaser default under an APA. Correlatively, if a U.S.-manufactured aircraft is imported into Canada or Mexico, the retaliatory or reciprocal tariffs of those countries (if any) may also increase the price of the aircraft. Among the many questions for OEMs, OEMs may experience profit margin compression on closed sale contracts and potentially future new aircraft sales to the extent that they cannot raise prices to recover the higher tariffs. OEMs may also face price increases from suppliers and experience unanticipated delays in aircraft or parts deliveries due to tariff-related supply chain disruptions. Impact of Tariffs on Aircraft Financing The tariff changes may also affect the financing with loan proceeds or leasing of a new and used private aircraft. An owner/lessor that buys an aircraft and leases it to a lessee/user and aircraft lenders may derivatively encounter tariff issues of any lessee or borrower. Higher tariffs may raise their credit and aircraft valuation risks even if the customer still meets their respective credit qualifications. As a result of these risks, financiers may bump up rates depending on pricing competition in the era of new tariffs. APA and Financing Contract Issues from Tariffs At the documentation level, the parties should consider modifying the typical APA to include more specific tariff tax indemnities, termination provisions for importation delays (a type of force majeure) or unexpectedly high tariff costs, and increase allotted time to complete inspections and close. The parties may even need to consider a reallocation of the tariff burden. For new aircraft, OEMs may need to include or rely on contract provisions that allow them to increase prices to pay all or a portion of the tariffs (a change in tax law price escalator clause). If a purchaser uses financing, he or she should lock funds rates for a maximum period to cope with transaction timing. If a financier agrees to finance tariff costs, the lender may insist on tougher or new financial covenants, require additional representations and warranties regarding tariffs, and tighten loan-to-value ratios to ensure tariffs do not dilute asset value. Last Thoughts Regardless of the rationale for tariffs, their existence has ushered in a period of new purchase pricing, more import/export processing, and greater complexity in documentation involving aircraft purchase and financing transactions. Despite the uncertain impact of tariffs, it seems clear that the tariffs have thrust private aviation at full throttle into a new taxing experience.
