My name is Patricia Ellen da Silva and I am a proud Brazilian who is currently living in Cambridge, near Boston (Massachusetts – USA). I am currently on a sabbatical at Harvard Kennedy School pursuing a Mid-Career Master in Public Administration as a 2013 MPA-MC candidate. I am a partner at McKinsey and spent my last years working as an advisor for public and social sector leaders mainly in Brazil on topics related to education, governance and economic development. I also led for two years the Digital Forum initiative, which is a collaborative forum, formed by major companies in Brazil who are interested in leveraging on digital technologies to learn more and better serve their consumers. I have also volunteered in education and economic development in Brazil. I co-founded an organization that leverages on a network of volunteers to teach English to underprivileged teenagers and moderated discussions and redesigned strategy and governance for thinks tanks in education and economic development. I have a Bachelor degree (2000) in Business Administration from FEA-USP (Faculdade de Economia e Administração da Universidade de São Paulo) and a MBA from Insead (2005). I have just created my profile and plan to become an editor on Wikipedia encouraged by my professor Nicco Mele in our Media Politics and Power course.
