Many years of experience as a management assistant have taught me how much easier business life can be with an excellent assistance. My guiding principle is:

Excellent assistance stays invisible in the background, ensures that everything runs smoothly so that you can focus on the essentials.

For my clients I take on tasks ranging from day-to-day business, organization, documentation, research, data preparation and processing to travel planning. Source out all those time-consuming tasks that clutter your calendar. Arctica Islandica helps you to run a branch office on site in Iceland without going through the hassle of opening a new office personally.

Directly on site or online, I offer support with documentation, research and processing of data and important information, as well as the maintenance of databases in German, Icelandic and English.

Especially in an international and intercultural context, smooth communication requires much more than a common language or translation. Cultural differences can be an (in)visible obstacle to successful communication and partnership. It is therefore important to take cultural differences into account.

Thanks to my studies in intercultural communication, many years of professional experience in an international context and life as an expat, I am in the ideal position to respond to the cultural needs of different parties, to mediate them and to take them into account in day-to-day business.

Even if (almost) anything is nowadays available with a few clicks – a direct contact person on site is irreplaceable. I am happy to take on the role of an outsourced assistant who represents your business interests in Iceland – especially in times of travel restrictions.

Examples of possible tasks:

• representation on site for business matters
• progress reports, attendance of handovers, supervision
• site visits and documentation
• organizational tasks of any kind
• administrative procedures

Sometimes it is the one right contact, the one place to go or the one missing information that  important point of contact or the one missing piece of information that make a difference. After 17 years in Iceland and ties into various industries, I am happy to assist you with administrative aspects or in contact with authorities, municipalities or business partners. Together we’ll find the right contact for your request.

Language barriers can significantly affect the course of a conversation or stand in the way of a successful negotiation.
Simultaneous translation helps maintain the natural flow of conversation without sacrificing the confidence of being able to communicate in your own language.

From light-footed small talk to tough negotiations – I translate everything simultaneously into German, Icelandic and English. Moreover, I offer translation of documents into English and German.
