Bio (English)
Jay Silva is an entrepreneur, management consultant, realtor at Keller Williams City Center Ohio, and creative systems builder whose career spans workforce strategy, hospitality design, and cross-border investment. With roots in Cleveland and SĂŁo Paulo, he bridges the analytical discipline of consulting with the emotional intelligence of cultural brand building.
Before co-founding StudioHaus, StayWithJay, and CatalystWin Consulting, Jay spent over fifteen years optimizing complex operations for major U.S. organizations — designing scalable workforce systems and leading international consulting projects across North America, Mexico, and Brazil. His tenure at firms like Dewolff Boberg & Associates and Cogent Analytics shaped a management philosophy rooted in accountability, data, and human development.
Through StudioHaus, he is turning that same precision toward hospitality — transforming underused urban spaces into automated boutique studios. StayWithJay became the living case study of that model, blending straight forward design, technology, and community. Under CatalystWin, he now unites investors, partners, and advisors from both hemispheres to be the catalyst to any projects coming their way.
As co-host of the CEO’s Grind podcast, Jay explores the intersection of leadership, culture, business execution, and lifestyle, alongside partner Wesley Rosenberg.
Colleagues often describe Jay as direct, restless, and principled — “a bull in a china shop,” as one early teammate put it — but also a leader who listens deeply and demands more of himself than of anyone else. Whether advising corporations or mentoring founders, his guiding principle remains constant:
“Create value through experience, hard work, ethical behavior, and collective responsibility — never disruption for disruption’s sake.”
Today, Jay leads StudioHaus’s expansion in Brazil while developing new CatalystWin partnerships in Brazil, U.S., and beyond; connecting people and capital through design, discipline, and shared purpose.

Antes de fundar a StudioHaus, a StayWithJay e a CatalystWin Consulting, Jay atuou por mais de quinze anos otimizando operações complexas para grandes organizações nos Estados Unidos.

Quem trabalha com ele o define como intenso, disciplinado e generoso no propósito. Para Jay, liderança é servir e construir com integridade:
“Criar valor através da experiência, do trabalho proposital e da responsabilidade coletiva — nunca pela ruptura sem sentido.”
Atualmente, lidera a expansão da StudioHaus Brasil e coordena novos projetos da CatalystWin no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos, promovendo a troca cultural e econômica entre empreendedores de ambos os hemisférios.
