Today I interpreted simultaneously at St.Regis Nikolskaya at Gartner Local briefing for CEOs and CIOs. Presentations were made by Jenny Beresford, Research Director in CIO Advisory group. Jenny showed the results of the latest research among CEOs and senior business executives. The target of the research was to analyze and determine the priorities for 2018, main objectives, investment plants ared areas subect to main changes. The research revealed that the majority of CEOs plan to develop digital business and “digitalize” operations since they see in it the potential for the company growth and revenue increase. Jenny explained what “digital” actually means and why digital technologies and business are the future for every company. It was interesting to hear about digital transformations and the growing role of IT in a company: I have been actively broading my knowledge in this area and it seems that it was the right thing to do!

Today Bernafon workshop on the new revolutionary family of hearing aids – Zerena took place in Moscow. Company representatives from Switzerland spoke in detail on advantages and technical features of these hearing aids and answered all the questions from Russian HCP and engineers. Each time it is a pleasure to work with Bernafon – and I have been interpreting for them for more than 10 years!

Today I visited once again the HQ of Rosbank, where a training for new employees took place and this time featured the welcoming word of the First Deputy Chairman of the Board Andre Marc Prudent-Toccanier, and I had the honour to interpret him consecutively.

From 16 to 21 April I took part in Cooperation Simulation Exercise on Nuclear Security COSINUS II in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. The Simulation Exercise was held in the NRSA (Nuclear Radiation Safety Agency) training centre. The exercise brought together participants from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Within the framework of this simulation all participants were divided into 5 teams and 2 fictional countries and had to timely respond to coming messages on nuclear security threads. The simulation exercise was an absolute success: all teams performed outstandingly and all the participants outlined the relevance of such type of training. As a result, the order has been restored and criminals and hazardous cargos detained. The training used the services of 5 interpreters (one for each team) who translated incoming e-mails, communication with master-team and response e-mails from their teams to various agencies.
