Mauricio Prado Silva
Vice President Latin America @ monday.com
About
I am a high-impact growth and transformation leader with over 30 years of experience in senior executive roles across global and regional technology companies in Latin America. With a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a growth mindset, I began working full-time at the age of 14 to support my family and build a better future for myself. I was fortunate to land my first job at a technology company, where I gained access to computers and books. I used these resources to transform my life and taught myself how to program a computer. Since then, I have fallen in love with the impact that technology has on businesses, society, and people's lives. My key positions have included Managing Director for Latin America at PEGA Systems, VP of the Applications Division at Oracle, President of the Brazilian subsidiary of Salesforce, and General Manager of two divisions at Microsoft. In addition to my roles at global companies, I have also held significant positions in Brazilian tech firms. I served as the CEO of SEK (Security Ecosystem Knowledge), a cybersecurity company operating in five countries across Latin America, and I was responsible for launching the first Brazilian company in Silicon Valley in the late 1990s. Above all, my most important role in life is being a father to my three beautiful daughters. As a father of three girls, I constantly strive to create a better and more inclusive world for them as they prepare to enter the job market. Moreover, I am committed to fostering a mindset of inclusivity and respect at home, teaching my daughters the value of empathy and the importance of standing up for their beliefs. In addition to my career and family, I have a strong passion for outdoor sports. I was a competitive hang glider pilot for over 15 years, and for the past 20 years, I have developed a love for sailing, both for pleasure and in competition.
