Vasco de Mello is a Portuguese businessman who since 2004 is Chairman and CEO of the family-based and family-controlled Grupo José de Mello that plays a significant role in the Portuguese economy. He attended the 1999 Bilderberg meeting.

Background

Vasco de Mello comes from a wealthy and famed business dynasty: a descendent of the Marquis of Sabugosa, Counts of S. Lourenco and Cartaxo as well as of the industrial magnate Alfredo da Silva. He describes the first part of his life, while still living in Portugal, as stable. Vasco also states that despite never having met his grandfather’s Alfredo da Silva entrepreneurial spirit was always present in his life and house growing up.[1]

Career

After the end of the dictatorship with the Carnation revolution on 25th April 1974 Vasco de Mello was obliged to leave Portugal. He settled in Switzerland where he concluded his high school and BA in Business management. In 1978 he worked at Citicorp in NY for 18 months before going to Brazil to be a credit analyst in Crefisul Investment bank in Sao Paulo. Following Sao Paulo Vasco returned to Portugal and started to be involved with the family’s business in the North. Ten years later, Vasco becomes the president of Banco Mello – he was, at the time, the youngest leader of a banking institution – and of the Insurance Império. Later, he becomes Chairman and CEO of Brisa, the largest private road operator in Portugal.[1]
