Spanish term or phrase: diferenciamos
I keep having trouble with this term. It pops up all the time in company profiles, press releases, etc., where you find companies saying things like "Nos diferenciamos por tener personas del más alto nivel en...". I never can seem to come up with a good way of saying that in English.

Any suggestions?
