Wilson Semedo da Silva

I am a professional with a journey that has gone through several business sectors.
This made me a professional who is not afraid of change, and easily adapts to the most diverse and adverse types of professional environments.

From the Hotel sector, through the universe of Translation in an International Humanitarian Organization, through the Oil and Gas sector, working in the capacity building of Local Content, through the FMCG sector first as a Sales Rep. and then as Channel Category Sales Development Executive and then through the Financial sector, more precisely in Sales, Insurance/Reinsurance and Claims management.

I finally chose to come back to myself! I love the Language industry. It runs through my veins. It is everything I do, think or imagine.

All those past positive and some negative experiences helped me to become a better communicator, and as a communicator I Teach ESL and Portuguese as a Second Language.

Working with words (spoken or written) brings life to my life. Keeps me awake in the middle of the night and takes me out of bed just to make some extra notes on my note pad.

I am always ready to reinvent myself as a professional and do my best to serve the world and grow as a person and as a professional.
