Highlights
I have the privilege of living in a country where several different languages and cultures coexist and enrich each other. In multilingual Switzerland, interpretation is valued as a tool that can help to promote understanding between the different regions. The variety of events and conferences allows us to collaborate with a range of sectors, from private businesses to public authorities via NGOs. It is a pleasure to be a vital cog in the wheels of that communication.
Putting together teams of interpreters is a jigsaw puzzle in which each piece must fit perfectly. Alongside linguistic skills and qualifications, the human factor should not be underestimated. Interpretation is like a high-performance sport in which each member of the team makes their contribution by supporting the others, maintaining smooth communication with clients and reacting when the unexpected arises. A team with the right players guarantees a performance of the highest calibre.
A Few Noteworthy Projects
- Our collaboration with the Chancellery of the Canton of Grisons to introduce interpreting services in the canton’s three official languages (German, Italian and Romansh) during parliamentary sessions has been one of my most enriching professional experiences of recent years. Romansh is a language spoken by a minority of the population that deserves to be promoted and nurtured. Organising interpreting teams to do that has been and remains a fascinating task.
- Consultant interpreting services for the European Works Councils of several large multinationals headquartered in Switzerland, with languages such as Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish.
- Consultant interpreting services for the Annual General Meetings of numerous companies listed on the Swiss stock exchange.
- Consultant Interpreting services for a range of virtual Town Hall events held by different Swiss companies for which our teams of interpreters provide remote simultaneous interpretation into languages such as English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Ukrainian.
