About me
Nadine Hegmanns
CV:
As a professional corporate event moderator, I lead your audience smoothly and confidently through the programme, ensuring your event delivers maximum impact and stays memorable long after it ends. During the last 20 years as a freelance conference interpreter for German and English I gained valuable experience on stage, on the radio, on location and in virtual space. I also work as a translator with a focus on advertising copy and marketing materials.
As member of the German Speakers Association (GSA), of Germany’s professional association for conference interpreters (VKD) and of the BDÜ Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators I engage in voluntary work and have committed myself to a strict code of ethics and standards of professional practice.
Some of my assignments have been reported in the press, and as a writer I have been published in various professional publications.

In my career, I have worked in many different specialist fields ranging from waste management to land restoration to blackwater toilets. But my areas of expertise are Marketing (print media, online content, TV and radio interviews, etc.), Business (film, advertising, culture & creative industries, supervisory board meetings, townhalls, etc.) as well as Politics and Social Science (education, sports, biodiversity, corporate social responsibility, etc.).
