Claudia Mancini, Brasil

I am an experienced journalist, public relations and political scientist with strong professional and academic background. I am used to – and enjoy – working in multicultural and multilingual environments in Brazil and abroad. I have hold executive positions and have vast experience in leading team, with very positive results delivered. During my career, I have gained deep knowledge of many themes and industries, especially on international affairs, Latin American economics and politics and business. I worked for the most important business and finance newspaper in Brazil, Gazeta Mercantil, where I hold all the positions from trainee to editor-in-chief. I also worked as a reporter at the London bureau of Dow Jones Newswires, where I covered agricultural commodities in Europe and Africa. Since 2008, I have been serving leading companies and international institutions in two of the top 5 agencies in the Brazil: CDN and MSLGROUP (Publicis Groupe). Besides graduating in Journalism at Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP), I took a Masters degree in Latin American Studies at the University of London (Institute of Latin American Studies/London School of Economics) and a Masters degree in Political Science with focus on International Affairs at the University of São Paulo (USP).
