Founder and CEO of Remiko International, Remiko Benninger-Ueda, understands that businesses need more than someone who can simply interpret or translate for them: They need an ally and an advocate capable of transcending cultural differences and helping them communicate effectively with others in any language.
After her debut interpreting for a process audit by a German automobile manufacturer in 2010, Remiko went on to build a career helping businesses share vital information despite language barriers. Building a successful career as a freelance interpreter in Japan, Remiko went on to provide technical interpreting services through
several high-profile international incidents, including technical interpreting in response to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, nuclear safety policy seminars to foreign delegations, preparing pharmaceutical companies for external audits, and a highly sensitive, time intensive assignment for a multinational airplane manufacturer that had been grounded due a battery failure issue. Known as “the lethal weapon” for her ability to transcend difficult and high-stress assignments, Remiko developed a strong reputation for being a trusted, no-nonsense, accurate interpreter. Fueled further by an ability to deliver accent-free interpreting renowned for the lyrical and poetic delivery, she quickly became the preferred interpreter for opening ceremonies, receptions, and official city and state functions. As a veteran interpreter with over ten years of experience in the United States and Japan, Remiko knows that accurate communication is essential for business success. After moving back to the US in 2015 and serving as an in-house technical interpreter for an automobile company for five years, she founded Remiko International to provide clients with an elevated level of service that exceeds all expectations and creates the space, time, and opportunity to foster relationships, finalize sales, and grow their business.
