Born in the United Kingdom to mixed French/English parents, living in France and abroad since 2008. Fluent in English, French and Spanish, I have worked as both an in-house and freelance translator and interpreter since 2016, providing consecutive and simultaneous interpreting services, along with translation, transcreation and innovative "live subtitling" for online seminars and meetings. Specialised in finance and banking, I have provided my skills as an interpreter in recent years for a major digital banking transformation project, ensuring that multilingual and multicultural teams from Tech, Product, Design and more could work together and overcome the language barrier. I have also worked as a bilingual project manager both in-house and freelance. I currently provide interpreting and translation support to local and international clients in sectors including finance, banking, industry and oil & gas. I am currently open to offers and look forward to discussing with you about how I can best help you and your teams to succeed in your next big venture! Look forward to speaking to you, William.
