Flavio Augusto da Silva
Owner ChairmanFlavio got his start back in 1995 aged 21, with a $10,000 loan and a single idea; to teach fluent English to adults in 18 months. 18 years later, Wise Up now has over 400 schools operating in five countries, and is an official sponsor of the 2014 World Cup.
Earlier this year, his businesses were acquired by Abril Educação, one of Latin Americas largest and most influential media companies. Today, Mr. da Silva still leads the Wise Up Group and is also the third largest shareholder in Abril Educação. As part of the acquisition, Mr. da Silva will oversee the development of Abril Educação operations around the world.
Da Silva's goal is to bring an MLS franchise to Central Florida by 2015, making Orlando City SC the preeminent brand in Major League Soccer.
