PATRICIA CURTY
Curator & Head of GOI
Patricia's moto in business, and in life, is to enjoy what you do.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Patricia grew up among entrepreneurs who hope for business everywhere; and one of the main lessons she'd learned is that if you don’t have the passion to keep you going, the routine will exhaust you.
If you love what you do, you can create a culture, a movement, a force, a way of life that will not only motivate yourself but everyone else that crosses your path.
Enthusiam can be contagious and the message is clear; INSPIRE others along your way, be joyful and that's the biggest reward.
