He graduated with an MA in Spanish and French translation before joining Canning House, the UK forum for Latin American affairs, responsible for corporate and government relations, and political and economic intelligence. In 2008-18, he was a Trustee of the Anglo Central American Society, later becoming Chairman and incorporating the Dominican Republic as a member state. From 2012-16, he was Chairman of the Anglo Ecuadorian Society, and Adviser to the Editor of LatAm Investor magazine from 2013-21.
His credentials are impeccable, and his translation is detail-oriented with a great sense of cohesion between my ideas as a writer and his language skilIs
