Mr José Luis Villanueva Senchuk MITI

I help people communicate with precision, confidence and cultural nuance when the stakes are high.

I am a Senior English–Spanish Conference Interpreter and Cultural Mediator with more than 27 years’ experience supporting corporate clients, governments, UN agencies, international organisations and civil society organisations in multilingual, high-level environments.
My work is grounded in linguistic accuracy, confidentiality and discretion, and a deep understanding of cultural context. With an MA in International Relations and lived experience across Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States, I bring both analytical rigour and real-world cultural insight to every assignment.

I have supported complex interpreting assignments across diplomacy, healthcare, defence, tourism investment, summit-level meetings and international cooperation, helping clients convey their message clearly and effectively across languages and cultures.

For remote simultaneous interpreting, I am fully verified under ISO 23155 and work from an RSI workstation that has passed ISO 24019-compliant quality assurance testing, providing clients with a reliable, professional and standards-based service in both remote and in-person settings.

CV and Event Log available upon request.

My areas of specialisation include thematic spheres related to Business Negotiations, Medicine, Education, Pharma, Environment, Law Enforcement, Military & Defence, AVISEC, Health, Aviation & Airports, Feminism, Tourism Investment and Real Estate, O&G, Energy, Public Policy and International Organisations (from high level meetings and summit-type events to field work, some pro bono).
