About Me

Hi, I’m Antonio, founder of AGM Interpreting. I’ve been living and working in the United Kingdom since 2008, supporting companies, institutions, and professionals as a strategic communication partner.
I believe language is, above all, a human act. And because it is human, it will always remain human. No matter how complex the subject, how regulated the setting, or how advanced the tools we use, communication ultimately happens between people.
Language and culture have been central to my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve lived in several countries, worked across borders, and travelled extensively. These experiences shaped not only the languages I work with, but also the way I listen, adapt, and understand different professional and cultural contexts.
What began as curiosity developed into formal study and, over time, into a professional path spanning more than twenty years. Throughout this journey, I’ve learned that effective communication is not just about accuracy, but about clarity, intent, and trust.
My work places me in a wide range of professional environments, from international conferences and virtual boardrooms to regulated healthcare and research settings. I work primarily between English and Italian, often in contexts where nuance matters, decisions carry weight, and communication must be precise without losing its human dimension.
As your strategic communication partner, my role is to ensure that language supports outcomes rather than complicates them. Preparation, discretion, and contextual understanding are central to the way I work, allowing communication to flow naturally and confidently.
Clients often describe working with me as calm, focused, and reliable. I aim to provide a steady presence, particularly when timelines are tight or subject matter is complex, so that attention remains on the conversation itself.
At its best, interpreting or translation is almost invisible. When language is handled well, discussions move forward smoothly, ideas land clearly, and people feel understood.
That is the standard I bring to every engagement.
Conference Interpreting
I provide professional conference interpreting for pharmaceutical, healthcare, life sciences, and international trade contexts where accuracy, preparation, and discretion are essential. I work on on-site, hybrid, and remote events, supporting clear communication in high-stakes environments such as conferences, regulatory meetings, and executive discussions.

Simultaneous Interpreting
How It Works
I listen to the source-language speaker in real time and deliver the interpretation almost simultaneously, with only a brief natural delay. The message flows continuously to the audience while the speaker is speaking, ensuring accuracy, coherence, and full preservation of meaning, nuance, and intent.
When It Works Best
Conferences, congresses, and large meetings
- Multilingual events with international audiences
- Panel discussions and keynote speeches
- High-level corporate or institutional meetings
- Webinars, hybrid events, and RSI (Remote Simultaneous Interpreting) settings
How This Benefits You
- Real-time communication
Participants receive the message instantly, without interruptions, allowing the event to run smoothly and on schedule. - Natural flow for speakers and audience
Speakers can present without pausing, maintaining momentum, rhythm, and engagement. - Ideal for time-sensitive and large-scale events
Particularly effective where speed, efficiency, and audience coverage are essential. - Professional, conference-standard delivery
Ensures consistency, precision, and clarity even in complex technical or high-stakes contexts. - Seamless multilingual access
Multiple language channels can be provided simultaneously, giving every participant equal access to the content. - Enhanced audience focus and comprehension
Listeners can concentrate fully on the message without waiting for interpretation, improving understanding and retention.
- On-site and remote-ready
Equally effective in traditional booth-based conferences and in RSI / hybrid environments using professional platforms. - Reduced cognitive load for participants
The uninterrupted flow of speech supports clearer processing and a more comfortable listening experience.
Consecutive Interpreting
How It Works
I listen to the source-language speaker in short, structured segments. When the speaker pauses, I deliver the message accurately and clearly to the audience, ensuring that meaning, nuance, and intent are fully preserved.
When It Works Best
- One-to-one meetings
- Small group discussions
- Highly technical or specialist meetings
- Site visits and field trips
- Working lunches and informal business settings
How This Benefits You
- Clear, accurate communication
Messages are delivered in manageable segments, reducing the risk of misunderstandings in complex or high-stakes situations. - Your message conveyed as intended
Tone, nuance, and intent are preserved — not just the words. - Ideal for technical or sensitive discussions
Particularly effective where precision matters more than speed (legal, medical, strategic contexts). - Greater control over the conversation
Natural pauses allow time for clarification, questions, and alignment. - No technical setup required
No booths, equipment, or complex logistics — flexible and easy to deploy anywhere. - Natural, human interaction
On-the-spot interpreting supports eye contact, trust, and smooth communication.
- Reduced risk, higher confidence
A measured pace and built-in checks help ensure nothing important is missed.
Remote Interpreting
I specialise in remote interpreting for healthcare and pharmaceutical market research, helping insight teams collect clear, accurate, and reliable data from Italian-speaking participants.
I work with market-research agencies, moderators, project managers, and insight teams, ensuring language never disrupts interview flow or affects data quality.

• Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) for UX and platform testing
