Bruno Carlier

With more than twenty-five years in international trade, (buzz) marketing and the supply chain field, including too the teaching of foreign languages (English and Spanish) as well as French as a Foreign Language and themes applied to international trade and commerce, I am now refocusing on my job of heart, and core business, translation.

I hold an initial university degree in both foreign languages and international business and I
followed, fifteen years after completing my initial studies, a specialization degree in Supply Chain
Management, at an engineering school. Fluent in English and Spanish as my almost adoptive
languages, both written and spoken, I also like to venture into some other languages whose sounds
and expressions I do appreciate : Portuguese, Italian and Turkish. I have had the chance of staying
from several months to several years in England, Spain, South America (mainly Ecuador and
surrounding countries) and Italy; to name but a few.

During all these years, I have spent a great deal of time working in stimulating environments
because intercultural, technical, varied and demanding. I have worked on technical and commercial
translations and, unfortunately, more rarely on literary content, and have had the opportunity to
work as an interpreter in simultaneous translation from Spanish to French, and consecutive
translation between Spanish and French.

Needless to say that even if I cannot believe I am a twelve-legged sheep (shall I say five?), in order
to carry out these past and future missions, a minimum of qualities is required, which I would
summarize as follows, and that I am proposing to you today, with confidence and determination :
communication - responsiveness – team work & spirit - very high level of precision and
meticulousness however offset by fast problem solving capacity - rigor - leadership - adaptability
and an indomitable sense of humor and optimism.
