Sean Patrick Hopwood vs John Fennelly

Sean Patrick Hopwood

CEO of Day Translations

BIO: I am a polyglot, the President of Day Translations, Inc. and its sister companies, World Interpreting, Inc. and Day Digital. As a child, I was already fascinated with languages and different cultures, which later developed into a much stronger passion, something I nurtured and worked hard for. Eventually, I found success when I established Day Translations, Inc. I decided to set up Day Translations, Inc. from the ground up in 2007 because, after learning all about the translations business through entrepreneurial courses and my own personal experiences, I strongly believed that my company could be of great service to individuals and corporations throughout the world. And I finally had the knowledge and courage to go it alone. I always knew that I wanted to start my own business and work towards my dream of promoting world peace through education, tolerance and cultural awareness.
