My name is Sayaka Tsuda, representative of Chicago Business Support.

I have lived in the United States for 20 years and am currently based in Illinois. My career has spanned government overseas aid, an international advertising agency, and teaching at a major English conversation school, before moving to P&G Japan and its U.S. headquarters to work in marketing and consumer research. The business skills I developed in the U.S. and the insights gained from speaking with more than 1,000 consumers across four continents enable me to create communication that truly connects—across both cultural and linguistic boundaries.

Since 2015, I have worked as a freelance simultaneous interpreter and business consultant, supporting clients throughout the U.S. and online from my base in Chicago. In addition to interpreting, I can act as your local representative in negotiations and meetings. My approach goes beyond literal translation: I focus on accurately capturing your intentions and conveying them in a way that resonates with your counterpart—helping you build trust and conduct business with confidence.

If you wish to overcome language and cultural barriers and move your negotiations and communications forward smoothly, I invite you to contact us. I will wholeheartedly support you as a partner who ensures that your important messages translate into real business results.
