About Renata Kaminker

Since 2001, I have gained extensive experience in both translation services for the private and NGO sectors, as well as in cultural heritage preservation for public institutions, international NGOs, and private businesses. My career includes several years as a conservator for national collections and historical monuments, followed by a role at the International Council of Museums, where I was responsible for monitoring and reporting on emergency situations related to cultural heritage. In this capacity, I also translated official documents, reports, and publications. Additionally, I led projects focused on combating illicit trafficking, collaborating with customs and law enforcement on specific requests.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to the development of strategic policies for the organizations I have worked with and have successfully managed multiple international projects in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams across the globe.

In 2018, I broadened my professional focus to consulting for public and private institutions, as well as collectors, on collections management, due diligence, provenance research, and staff training. Alongside this, I expanded my translation services to cover art history, visual arts, legal, financial, communications, and technical fields, leveraging my extensive expertise in translating documents with precision and professionalism.
