Roberto da Silva is a Brazilian student pursuing majors in Business Analytics and Economics, accompanied by a minor in Theology. His fervent passion for Economics and leadership took form in his co-founded project, Inceptum Brasil, a nonprofit to address the lack of financial education among Brazilian youth through business case competitions. Roberto's initiative was recognized and the project was double awarded by two prominent players in Brazil's financial sector. However, the most significant reward for him was the profound realization that the essence of economics lies in enhancing people's lives through the effective management of finite resources.
In the Kellogg program, Roberto plans to deepen his interest in developmental economics. Additionally, his engagement with Theology reflects his broader intellectual curiosity, as he also seeks to explore religious development topics, specially the Catholic growth in Asia and Africa. Therefore, with his multifaceted academic pursuits and impactful initiatives, Roberto exemplifies a commitment to leveraging his skills and knowledge for societal progress, both within Brazil and beyond.
