About
Jan D. Gibboney Technical Translators has been providing top-quality translation services to the international development and international business communities since 1988.
Jan D. Gibboney began his professional career in 1964 with a 7-year stint in Citibank’s Overseas Division, involving assignments in the New York Head Office, Panama and Honduras.
In 1972, Mr. Gibboney began a 16-year association with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), carrying out a variety of contract assignments in the areas of financial and management consultancy; project design, implementation and evaluation; translation and interpretation; and editing and production of materials for publication.
In 1988, Mr. Gibboney relocated to the Washington DC area where he established Jan D. Gibboney Technical Translators as a one-stop language services agency for the international development community. Since that time, services have expanded to include over 40 languages covering virtually all aspects of global activity.
Mr. Gibboney holds a B.A. from Middlebury College and has also done post-graduate coursework at the Middlebury Language Schools.
Brian Gibboney was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. He graduated from Strayer University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in International Business. He has learned the language services business from the bottom up, starting as a part-time project assistant while in college.
Brian’s interest in the field of international development was initially inspired by his father Jan’s work at the U.S. Agency for International Development in the 1970-1980’s. His interest in and focus on the global development sector continued to expand while working at Jan D. Gibboney Technical Translators, a small business devoted entirely to work in that field. In addition, as a native-born Honduran, Brian has been able to witness first-hand and appreciate the impact that international development organizations have had in his native country.
