I have a degree in Economics and Linguistics (BA, Harvard) and an MBA from Kuehne Logistics University in Hamburg, Germany where I wrote my thesis on Ship Finance. I also have extensive financial industry experience, having worked for the Financial Sector Policy Unit at the National Treasury of South Africa for almost four years, as well as an investment bank (a South African subsidiary of Barclays Capital). I also have 3 years of top-tier management consulting experience during which time I worked on a number of projects in the financial and logistics industries.
I have extensive experience in a variety of financial documents, including annual reports, investor documentation, marketing prospectuses, and cost-benefit analysis reports. In total I have 10 years of translation experience, of which 2 are full time. I am now working with a number of CAT tools including Trados, Wordfast, and Passolo.
