Simon Peters

Sales & Production Manager at TransPerfect

Greater Paris Metropolitan Region

About

I began my career in the foreign rights team of a major publishing house where I was able to explore the impact of multilingual skills in business. After moving to France, I worked first as a corporate language trainer before progressing to several management positions with responsibilities including sales, recruitment, curriculum design, production, mentoring and project management. In my current role as Sales & Production Manager at TransPerfect, my work involves supporting our clients in their strategic decisions to communicate and be competitive internationally, and developing our range of bespoke training solutions for languages, culture, business and media. I bring strong consulting, client management, and curriculum design expertise, with a focus on creating learning solutions that are both relevant and engaging.
