Fredrik S.

Hello, I am a Swede, educated in the UK, and a former diplomat with many years of experience working in both bilingual and multilingual professional environments, in missions as well as with international organisations such the UN, UNDP, OSCE and EU institutions. I have also worked in private business, with export marketing and in support of hi tech start-ups. The working language throughout has usually been English - from simple reporting to complicated multilateral negotiations. I now freelance via Upwork on translation an producing texts, as a senior analyst and writer for a Swedia media firm and as a consultant. I am currently available for additional projects. In my managerial and supervisory capacities I have drafted, edited, proofread and translated copious amounts memoranda, documents, reports, manuals, staff reviews and recommendations, as well as proposals and pitches. My tasks ranged from setting out simple, clear and concise instructions and explanations for team members to drafting complex proposals and definitive documents and binding agreements in different formats. I am equally qualified to provide help on longer written projects including articles and literary works in progress. I have always been an avid reader, primarily in English and Swedish. I am used to preparing and translating texts bilingually. Since I am bilingual in Swedish and English my translations are accurate and of high content quality. I am comfortable working in both UK and US English. I pride myself on always delivering a carefully crafted, concise and effective work product on time and budget. For years I have been used to working on tight timelines. I am also, as a senior professional, dependable, efficient and well organised. I make a point of trying to exceed job expectations in the quality of my work. Kind regards, Fredrik
