ACHIEVEMENTS
Besides the relevant contribution to improve the knowledge and technical capacity of the
Brazilian committees, in local and national basis, Mr. Divo was involved in two great challenges
during his mandate.
One of that was the
decision-making process in regards to the participation of South African delegation in IC 1986 in
Sweden (they were refused visas for political reasons) and in creating the message on AIESEC’s
relevance at that IC. Moreover, in the same event he led the group that took care of the PAI
election process. Another relevant goal was the approval to have Aiesec Brazil as the host of the
Presidents Meeting, in 1987. This event could put together people from other countries with the
Brazilian members, energising and motivating them.
From 1976 to 1998, Mario Divo
worked for Petrobras (oil and gas company), the largest Brazilian company and one of the largest of
the world. The last twelve years, within the company, he was a manager in the Marketing and
Communication area, reaching the top of the hierarchy in 1995. During his term in office he
developed many social designs, several of which in a national reach. He also represented Petrobras
at the World-wide Conference of Environment (RIO 92), the Green Press and the World Urban
Forum.
In 1997, Mr. Mario Divo was
invited by the President Mr. Fernando Henrique Cardoso to assume the responsibility for the
planning of social communication of the Presidency. This included management of guided features in
social action – education, health, culture, environment, anti-alcoholism, regional social
difficulties, sports (incl. sports for the handicapped). For his efforts and initiatives in the
interests of Brazilian society he received an award from the Brazilian Armed Forces.
Mr. Divo was the President of
the Brazilian Association of Marketing & Businesses (ABM&N - 1997/2001), which promotes
training and qualification events for young professionals and students, as well as recognizes
success cases, with emphasis on those that involve programmes of social responsibility. Nowadays,
he is an adviser of that association.
As an independent consultant and entrepreneur today, Mario Divo continues to participate and
be engaged in initiatives related to cultural and social affairs. He coordinates an area of special
projects for Universidade Santa Úrsula, one of the oldest universities in Brazil. Among other
things, he publishes a technical magazine focused on the oil&gas academic and scientific
community. Often, he writes businesses articles for Brazilian publications, included the Conjuntura
Econômica (a 52 years-old magazine about the Brazilian economic reality).
An example of Mr. Divo’s educational and cultural initiatives is a literature for children
on the issues of “friendship and fellowship”, which he edited. Mr. Divo is, also, a writer of
fiction histories and tales about love, passion and the day-by-day facts of the life. He has his
texts published in books and several Brazilian magazines.
