    Diogo Costa

    A 17-year veteran of the freedom movement, Diogo is widely recognized as both a thought leader and an organizational leader in the movement for liberty in Brazil, which is among the most robust in the world.

     

    Diogo began his career in Washington, D.C. in 2007 with two two-year stints, one at the Cato Institute and the other at the Atlas Network, as a pioneer promoting classical liberal ideas in Brazil before they had achieved the extraordinary success that they now have in that country. This was followed by five years as a teaching fellow and a professor of economics and political science at universities in Brazil and the United Kingdom, and for an online business school in Spain.

     

    For the past eight years, Diogo has had a series of leadership positions in both educational organizations and policy-oriented think tanks in Brazil, including explicitly free-market shops as well as more mainstream organizations that he was able to move in a freedom-friendly direction.

     

    Diogo has a bachelor of law degree from the Catholic University of Petropolis, Brazil, earned a master of political science degree from Columbia University, and completed three years of postgraduate study in political economy at King’s College, London.
