How lingo prepares for Financial Services interpretation

Terminological accuracy in Financial Services is built before the event, not during. Alex Barros systematically requests preparatory materials in advance — presentation decks, internal glossaries, participant lists and sector-specific terminology. This preparation eliminates hesitations and inaccuracies during live interpretation.

For recurring mandates — like the monthly boards with Macquarie (Solví) and Carlyle (Tempo) — the glossary accumulates with each session, increasing precision progressively. After 6 months of monthly boards, the interpreter knows the company's terminology as well as any senior executive.

In-person vs remote for Financial Services

For Financial Services events, the modality depends on the type and size of the event. Board meetings and executive sessions with 5–20 participants work best with RSI via Zoom — no equipment cost, same quality. Conferences, investor days and trade shows with 50+ participants require the in-person system with individual UHF receivers and a portable booth.

lingo operates both modalities at the same level of excellence, and has held active remote mandates with Carlyle, Macquarie and BlackRock since 2019 — proving that RSI does not compromise quality in high-stakes corporate contexts.

Why documented cases matter in Financial Services

In Financial Services, clients expect evidence of performance, not just credentials. lingo's portfolio includes documented cases at the highest level — the XP Investimentos NASDAQ IPO (US$14.9B, 2019), CMA CGM × Santos Brasil (R$6.3B, 4 phases), and monthly boards with Carlyle, Macquarie and BlackRock portfolio companies. These are not references — they are traceable mandates with named clients, dates and contexts.
