Amadou M. Sall [LION]’s Summary

A.M.Sall, (Contact me or connect at <amsallcom@gmail.com>)
Open Networker, [LION] [LinkedInGroups] [ECADEMY] [RYZE] [ON] [XING] [SOFLOW] [NEWSVINE] [RNIA] ...

After some time in the diplomatic service (Counsellor, Senegal Embassy, London), I started a career as a translator.

Professional translator since 1972. Strategic Cross-cultural communication, LSP (Language Service Provider) recruiting.

We advise, coach, consult with global or going-global firms on how to better understand and communicate with foreign and overseas markets.

Global Cross-cultural Communication Audit

And questions:

Your market?

What must be translated/localized?

When? Where? Who?

How? We source, assess, recruit, follow up (SARF)

Translation/localization in-house? We leverage our 35+ year presence in the translation/localization industry, consult with hiring managers to assist them in solving complex recruitment challenges. We keep diverse and powerful candidate pools (languages cover 98% of the global marketplace)

Outsourcing? We help you choose between Freelancer, SLV or MLV, based on your needs and available resources

Or we act as your full-blown outsourced Translation/localization Service: our relationship is totally different from the one you have with a classic translation agency.

I've written a book to teach translators/interpreters how to market their services.

I write on various topics: linguistics, localization, globalism, health/wellness, personal development, etc. (2 websites, 2 blogs, 3 ezines).

As a "global individualist", I see people as individuals, not as being of "a race", color, gender, religion, country, nationality, etc.

I have good friends and business partners on all 5 continents.

I love networking: "we connect with each other based on our similarities and we enrich each other based on our differences"

I was once a professional guitar-player. Pretty eclectic musical tastes: I simply love ALL good music!
