DURING THE VISIT
Â
My signature high-level interpreting services
Â
The language bridge for the visit.
I've been the language bridge for royalty, I've been the language bridge for royalty, presidents, prime ministers, foreign ministers and senior executives on both sides of the Atlantic: bilateral programmes, state visits and trade negotiations. Over 2,500 rooms. More than 7,500 delegates.
When a visit goes well, nobody notices the interpreter. Both sides simply leave with the same understanding of what was agreed.
The Bilateral covers every part of the programme: negotiations, meetings, embassy events, investor pitches, trade missions, panels, roundtables, roadshows and tours.
Limited availability. Book early.

The conversation begins
Both sides speak as if they shared a language.
What changes...
Â
Both sides hear the same meeting.
The friction gets named in the room, not in the debrief.
Everyone focuses on the deal, not the language.
The visit ends with one version of what was agreed.

My Multilateral Way
Six rules I set years ago, when interpreting was the only thing I did. They've held up, so I made room for what Multilateral Studio has grown into.
1- Be usefulÂ
Whether it’s for one day or for five years, I'm on your team. Every session, every system, every book should leave you better equipped than it found you.
2- Be respectfulÂ
Good manners, obviously. But also respect for your work, your goals, and your organisation's culture. I don't parachute in with my own agenda.
3-Â Be discreetÂ
The Othello Principle still holds. What happens in the room stays there. That's not a policy, it's the whole job.
4-Â Be attentiveÂ
The friction that costs you a deal usually lives in a detail nobody's named. I see it before it costs you anything.
5-Â Be fair and transparentÂ
Pricing, scope, conflicts of interest: all on the table, all the time. Transparency is how I work better, with you.
6-Â Be curiousÂ
Over a decade in these rooms and I still learn something new in most of them. The day I stop is the day I stop being useful to you.
'Cecilia's professionalism is one of her great virtues, but also her kindness and proactivity. She has been always looking for the way to make things easier for every delegate and facilitating the work of myself as a coordinator of the activity.'
Federico Perez Wodtke - Regional Sector Lead, FCDO
'Outstanding professional, very discreet, and always ready to support the Embassy of Argentina to the United Kingdom. She interpreted for ministers and business and governmental delegations.'
Carlos Sersale di Cerisano - Ambassador
'Without doubt, Cecilia is the best interpreter I have been able to work with. She is highly skilled, very professional and flexible; and has successfully interpreted high authorities including our President and International Trade Minister.'
Juan Carlos Yepez - Trade Commissioner, ProEcuador
