About me

Fabio Silveira is the Chief Growth Officer of Havas Middle East, previously serving as the Managing Director of Havas Creative Middle East where he helped shape the agency into one of the region's top creative players.

Born in São Paulo, he has built a global career across continents, having lived, studied and worked in Brazil, the United States, Portugal, France, and the UAE. With over 20 years of experience, he has led strategy and business for major local, regional, and global brands.

His work has earned global recognition at leading creative and effectiveness festivals — including D&AD, Effies, Clios, The One Show, and Cannes Lions, where he won the Outdoor Grand Prix in 2022. He has also served as a juror in many of these shows.

Fabio believes in hands-on leadership — and that creativity thrives in diverse, multicultural environments. He sees curiosity, empathy, and cultural understanding as the foundation of transformative thinking and the spark behind ideas that truly resonate.
