Elena Petrova's Linkedin Analytics

My role as Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ad Astra, a comprehensive communication company, was born of my passion for promoting cultural understanding. I began my career providing spoken language interpretation and language instruction services to high-level diplomats, schools, the Zenit soccer team, media organizations, and others in Russia. When I moved to the United States, I served in various language services management and business development roles. My intimate experience in all aspects of the industry inspired me to create Ad Astra. I wanted to ensure equal access to information for all. Language access facilitates necessary communication among different people in all activities of their lives. Each day, I work harder to ensure Ad Astra’s services reflect the very best offerings and current industry standards to serve the needs of both organizations of all kinds—e.g., businesses, medical facilities, government agencies, educational institutions—and individuals. I have built Ad Astra with a diverse team of professionals who, like me, also profoundly care about people and communities across the nation and the globe and find ultimate satisfaction in creating stronger connections among disparate communities. Along with my employees, I am deeply involved in many pro bono initiatives that provide communication services and language access to nonprofits and the community. And, I always seek to learn through professional development and travel. In my free time, you can find me exploring locales across the globe, immersing myself in new cultures and languages, and making friends along the way.
