RUSSIAN AND ROMANIAN CONFERENCE INTERPRETER IN LONDON

I am a London-based conference interpreter specialising in Russian and Romanian. With over ten years of professional experience, I provide simultaneous and consecutive interpreting services for diplomatic missions, international organisations, government delegations and business leaders visiting the United Kingdom. I work both on-site in London and across the UK, as well as remotely for high-level meetings and conferences.

My work focuses on international cooperation between the UK, Central Asian and East European countries, supporting delegations in areas such as infrastructure development, decarbonisation, medical and health certification, higher education partnerships, trade missions and public sector reform. I regularly interpret for diplomatic and business missions seeking to build strategic partnerships with British institutions, universities and regulatory bodies.

My experience includes long-standing collaboration with Eurostat in the field of institutional knowledge transfer, further strengthening my understanding of governmental and international working environments.

Passionate about foreign affairs and intercultural communication, I approach every assignment with intellectual curiosity, precision and discretion.

“Xenia and her colleagues recently provided simultaneous translation services for high-level government and business meetings. They were very professional and accommodating. They have a system of headphones and speakers for when a traditional booth setup cannot be used – a huge positive. We would not hesitate to work with Xenia again – many thanks!”

My background

I come from Moldova and I was raised bilingual with Russian and Romanian. I have been navigating between these two languages and cultures for as long as I can remember.

Before becoming an interpreter, I studied classical violin, finance and banking, legal translation — and only then — Conference Interpreting. In my spare time I enjoy acting as a supporting artist on film sets and I find that my acting experience makes me a better interpreter as well.

I started my first interpreting and translation business in 2015 in Chisinau, Moldova, and now I run my second language and events business in London, UK.

The two things I value the most in my client relationships are partnership and teamwork. When I come on board a project, I bring all of my knowledge and expertise with me. Beyond speaking the languages, I speak the cultures that come with them; I know how to read a room and get a message across confidently.
