Board meetings and shareholder sessions
Simultaneous interpreting for governance meetings where directors sit in two languages and the minutes have to match what was actually said in both.
On the ground in New YorkHQ São PauloRemote worldwide
New YorkAn executive interpreter already in New York.
STIB has professional interpreters and simultaneous interpreting equipment on the ground in New York — so a board meeting, a roadshow or a week of negotiations does not depend on flying an interpreter in from São Paulo. Same firm, same standard, same confidentiality agreement.
What we are booked for in New York
The rooms a Brazilian or international executive actually sits in here
New York concentrates capital, counsel and governance in a few square miles. Most of our assignments in the city fall into six shapes.
Investor roadshows and analyst days
Management presentations, one-on-one investor meetings and Q&A — a setting where a hesitant rendering of a number costs more than the interpreter.
Arbitration, depositions and hearings
Consecutive interpreting for testimony and cross-examination, where the record depends on exact, complete renderings rather than summaries.
Missions, consulates and multilateral events
Official delegations, chamber-of-commerce programmes and side events around the institutional calendar the city hosts.
Due diligence and signing sessions
Data-room Q&A, management interviews and closing meetings, with the contract terminology aligned to the translated documents.
Multi-day executive agendas
One interpreter across the whole trip: meetings, site visits, working dinners and the conversations that happen between them.
How it is delivered
Three modes, chosen by the room
An assignment in New York normally runs in one of three modes, and the mode decides the cost more than the city does.
Simultaneous, with equipment
Real time, delivered from a booth or with a portable system. Standard practice is two interpreters per language relieving each other, because accuracy in solo simultaneous falls measurably after about 30 minutes.
Consecutive
The speaker pauses, the interpreter delivers. No equipment, roughly double the clock time, and the right choice for negotiations, depositions and small bilateral meetings.
Escort / whispered
Mobile. The interpreter moves with you through the day — office visits, lunches, the taxi conversation — whispering or working consecutively as the moment requires.

Process
From brief to the room
Send the agenda
Dates, venue, languages, and what each session actually is — board meeting, hearing, plant visit.
Interpreter and NDA
We propose the interpreter by language pair and sector, and sign the confidentiality agreement before any material moves.
Preparation
Decks, contracts, glossaries and participant lists are studied in advance. Equipment is specified for the sessions that need it.
On the day
The interpreter is at the venue — with the equipment when the setup calls for it — and stays with the agenda, including the parts that change.
Straight answers
Questions we are asked about this assignment
Does STIB have interpreters in New York?
Yes. STIB has professional interpreters and simultaneous interpreting equipment on the ground in New York, so an on-site assignment in the city does not require flying an interpreter in from Brazil. STIB does not have a New York office — its headquarters is in São Paulo, with a second office in Brasília.
How much notice do you need for an interpreter in New York?
Two to three weeks is comfortable for a multi-day executive itinerary, because it allows interpreter matching, NDA signature and preparation from your materials. Single meetings and remote sessions can often be arranged within days, and short-notice requests are accepted subject to availability.
Do you provide the simultaneous interpreting equipment as well?
Yes. Simultaneous interpreting equipment is available locally in New York, which means booths, receivers and transmitters do not have to be shipped in. The specification depends on room size, number of languages and whether the session is also being streamed.
Why do full-day sessions need two interpreters?
Simultaneous interpreting requires listening, analysing and speaking at the same time, and accuracy declines measurably after roughly 30 minutes of unrelieved work. Professional practice is a pair per language who alternate, which is why a full day is quoted with two interpreters rather than one.
Can the same interpreter cover meetings in New York and then in Brazil?
Yes. For itineraries that cross both countries, one interpreter can travel with the delegation so terminology and context carry across the whole trip, or local interpreters can be assigned in each city — whichever the agenda and the budget favour.
Is the interpreter bound by confidentiality?
Yes. Interpreters are assigned under a non-disclosure agreement, and STIB signs the client's own NDA when required. Preparation material is shared only with the interpreters working on the assignment.
