«You have a very practical and matter-of-fact way of approaching problems. This pragmatism will make your professional life very complicated», predicted her university lecturer in Political Sciences, Everhard Holtmann on learning that young student Silke Buss wanted to change the theme of an essay. She was to analyse a political party. However, in the meantime the party was suddenly disbanded and the student saw no sense in pursuing the project further.
It was with this sense of pragmatism and pro-activity that Silke Buss founded BUSS Communicação in 2001 and she continues to run the communications agency with the same spirit to this day.
Silke Buss is PR and coach. Since 2015 she is also a qualified mediator, trained at the University of Applied Sciences of Koblenz. She has a PhD in Theatre Sciences and Media and a Masters degree in Political Science and Iberian Studies from the University of Erlangen. In addition, she gained a scholarship to the Institute of Journalism IFP in Munich, where each year 15 scholarships are offered to University students in Germany.
In 1997 she moved to Portugal where she was overseas correspondent for the German newspaper Die Welt and newsmagazine Der Spiegel.
Silke Buss owes her multiculturalism to her time spent at the Luso-German College Bardel, Germany that she joined when she was 10 years old. She also speaks 5 languages (German, Portuguese, English, French and Spanish).
