Automotive & Industrial Cable Manufacturer
President & CEO 

Mr. Hisashi Kikukawa

(Osaka, Japan)

During a business trip to the U.S., I asked Ms. Tsuda to provide on-site interpretation for an initial meeting with senior purchasing executives at one of our clients in the automotive and industrial machinery sector. From our pre-meeting discussion, she was professional yet friendly and quickly understood what we wanted to accomplish, allowing me to go into the meeting with confidence.

Her deep understanding of both Japanese and American business cultures enabled her to convey not only the words being spoken, but also the intentions and nuances behind them in a way that was clear to both sides. This helped the meeting proceed smoothly and created a positive atmosphere. I would definitely work with Ms. Tsuda again and would confidently recommend her to my team whenever they need interpretation support.

Owner

Mr. Tsuyoshi Takasaki

(Tokyo,  Japan)

For our expansion into the U.S. market with commercial cooking equipment, I asked Ms. Tsuda to provide on-site interpretation for our market research and site visits. She supported us throughout the entire process—from initial market research and identifying potential companies to visit, to contacting and coordinating with local businesses and accompanying us on the visits.

Her support went beyond language. Her knowledge of the local business environment and practices helped us communicate confidently even with companies we were meeting for the first time, allowing us to conduct our U.S. market research smoothly and effectively.

Ms. Natsuki Suda

(Aichi, Japan)

After winning first place in the Instrumental category at the 2024 International Songwriting Competition (ISC), one of the world’s largest competitions, I found it challenging to arrange and conduct sponsor meetings and interviews. I asked Ms. Tsuda to interpret for me, and she made communication smooth and effortless, which gave me great reassurance. She continues to provide me with ongoing coaching and support for my overseas PR efforts.

We have partnered with Saya for interpretation and marketing support in our online English communication course over the past two years. Simultaneous interpretation removes time barriers, allowing us to focus fully on the course content and participant interaction. We have complete confidence in the quality of her interpreting, and Japanese participants often note that it is a rare opportunity to learn and engage in discussions with English speakers from around the world.

Message from the Representative

Representative profile

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.
