Pedro Silva
Welcome to my personal website.
I'm a seasoned sports manager, leader and strategist. Expertise and proven track record of over two decades of working with either the private, public and ONG sectors in different environments, cultures and countries.
I've worn many hats in my career and in my life: sports manager, event manager, professor, coach, athlete, volunteer. As a result, I have a unique ability to manage multi-disciplinary projects and to navigate complex challenges. But actual experience has taught me that my professional values boils down to the following:
-
I'm a multi-linguist. Besides speaking fluent Portuguese, English, French, Spanish and Italian, I'm also fluent in motivation, pragmatism, common sense and last minute skills.
-
I have Big Ideas and I have the ability and the drive to deliver them.
-
I'm the calm one.
-
I run towards fires.
-
I love making new professional acquaintances. Reach out if you want to talk about sports, events, education or wrestling.

Following the United World Wrestling Congress in Budapest, Hungary, this past October 2018, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of you for your support and confidence expressed in my candidacy to Bureau Member.
This election served to renew all my motivation and drive to continue working together with the world wrestling family. I’m looking forward for our next steps together in the promotion and development of our beloved sport.

RECENT PROJECTS
Pedro Silva was the Wrestling Competition Manager for the XX Commonwealth Games in Glasgow 2014.
Leading a team of over 100 volunteers and paid staff, the wrestling competition was a huge success in all regards.
Below is a clip of one of the matches of the event, where the world class level of organisation, sport technical details, sport presentation, croud athmosphere, look, lighting, broadcast, amongst other aspects can be observed and evaluated.
